DYNAMIC Edge, an Aberdeen-based information technology firm, has acquired Surrey-based Waytime Technologies.

The deal brings the total number of staff to 33 and opens the business up to mid-tier and large company clients.

All eight staff at Waytime are being retained by the firm, which also has offices in Inverness and Dundee.

Rob Hamilton, chief executive, said: “We sought a business with similar expertise, values and commitment to customer service. In addition, it has a number of oil and gas clients in the London and Guildford areas and that was also a factor.”
