Originally founded as an Original Equipment Manufacturer, Stone has matured into one of the UK’s leading Value Added IT Resellers, retaining its own Stone branded hardware products within a broader portfolio founded on strategic partnerships with tier one suppliers such as HP, Lenovo, Dynabook and Acer.
Stone is fully committed to the circular economy and to providing true 360 IT asset lifecycle management services and, in 2009, invested in its own inhouse IT Asset Disposal facility and is ADISA accredited with distinction and Government accredited to the highest level.
Souter acquired a majority stake in Stone in December 2019, investing alongside the Company’s management team and a syndicate of investors managed by private equity house RJD Partners.
Since acquisition, Stone has grown strongly and expanded its range of products, services, and solutions. This includes the roll out of the market leading Stone 360 IT recycling app, which makes management of end-of-life technology simple, ensures responsible e-waste disposal, and allows customers to make progress towards their sustainability goals.
In September 2022, Souter Investments agreed to sell Stone to Toronto Stock Exchange listed Converge Technology Solutions Corp. (“Converge”), a software-enabled IT & Cloud Solutions provider. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval.
