Interactive Data Technology (IDT)
IDT was founded in 1997 and spent nearly three decades building one of Derbyshire's most respected managed IT practices. Under co-founders Luke Draper and James Cartwright, it cultivated a reputation for exceptional customer service and a close-knit, highly skilled team.
The founders wanted a partner who would preserve what they had built, prioritize customer success and provide a platform to continue their team's growth.
"The transition with Kingsgate has been smooth and collaborative, with Arjun and Jamish taking the time to understand the business properly rather than rushing to impose change. As a founder, that approach matters enormously. They have been supportive of myself, James and the wider team, investing in people through training, development and broader operational support. The team can see the opportunities that come from being part of a larger group while retaining the identity and service ethos that made IDT successful.
What I've personally enjoyed most is the openness and professionalism of the Kingsgate team. They are ambitious about growing the group, but they are equally focused on doing it the right way, by backing good businesses and the people behind them. That combination of strategic vision and respect for founders is what ultimately made Kingsgate the right partner for IDT."
