The V+O company has signed an agreement with SEC Newgate, the international communications group ranked 21st in the world, and one of the 30 fastest growing companies (estimated by PRovoke 2023 for the top 250 rankings), by thus embarking on a new, even more exciting journey towards its growth and expansion.
SEC Newgate will acquire 70% of the V+O group over a 5-year period, while V+O will retain its distinct brand identity and organizational independence. SEC Newgate CEO Fiorenzo Tagliablue will join the V+O Group Board of Directors and strengthen the existing management team of all V+O companies, under the leadership of Thomas Varvitsiotis and Yannis Olympios.
Commenting on the event, V+O founders Thomas Varvitsiotis and Yannis Olympios said: “After 22 years of continuous growth, it was time to take another important step. The success of the V+O company has always been based on our unwavering dedication, strong commitment and a set of clear values to our customers and people. Joining forces with SEC Newgate will allow us to accelerate this growth while staying true to both ourselves and these values.
We will be able to offer deeper knowledge as well as a wider network of expertise and global reach. We also believe that through this step, our extended family of wonderful colleagues will have more opportunities for professional development".
"Thomas and Yannis have known and worked with them and their team for several years, so I am very excited by their commitment and results as well as the company's alignment with SEC Newgate. We welcome our colleagues from the V+O group, with whom we look forward to working together in the coming months and years, across our entire geographic reach, starting with our Eastern business region EMEA, the core area of the V+ group O to develop their activities with us", said the Director General of SEC Newgate, Fiorenzo Tagliabue. "The strong traces that the V+O group has left in the region, as well as the excellent work in consulting and corporate communication was, in fact, really attractive and coherent for our business and that now we can see a number of synergies", emphasized Fiorenzo Tagliabue.
