Bechtle stock expands UK AI platform with Bespoke XYZ deal

Bechtle announced the acquisition of Manchester-based Bespoke XYZ and its subsidiary Savvy IT on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The transaction expands the German IT group's British capabilities in artificial intelligence, data analytics, automation and managed services.

The acquisition gives Bechtle access to a Microsoft-focused specialist in AI, data analytics and Power Platform solutions. Savvy IT adds education-sector managed services, including IT support, Microsoft 365 and licensing, cloud, infrastructure and cybersecurity offerings. The purchase price and other conditions remain confidential, according to Bechtle's press release.

What the acquisition adds

Bespoke brings 52 employees, including an offshore delivery team in the Philippines. It generated approximately 3.5 million pounds in revenue during the 2025/26 financial year, and Bechtle said the companies had already worked together on customer projects for more than two years.

The deal marks Bechtle's sixth transaction in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Its expanded capabilities cover Microsoft Fabric, Copilot and AI agents, as well as AI strategy, automation and analytics solutions. James Napp, Bechtle's regional director for the UK and Ireland, said Bespoke would form the foundation of Bechtle's AI practice.

Execution remains the next test

Bespoke will initially continue as an independent business within Bechtle UK. Founders Sam Bright and Jordan Brookes, together with Savvy IT founder Chris Homer, will remain with the business. This structure preserves the acquired teams' operating independence while leaving Bechtle to demonstrate how effectively it can connect the new capabilities with its wider customer base.

Bechtle stock traded at 35.76 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:59 CET on Monday, October 26, 2026.
