PentenAmio and Armour Communications have worked together for eight years, making this acquisition a logical strategic step to formally bring the two teams together. 

Through combining capabilities, the businesses see significant collective opportunities across secure mobility in the future.

This acquisition reinforces PentenAmio’s commitment to maintain, deliver and enhance its large-scale secure mobility solutions. Ultimately, this will strengthen the organisation’s resilience and accelerate the pace at which PentenAmio delivers against the evolving requirements of the UK and Australian governments and their allies.

The acquisition is the first since the formation of PentenAmio in May 2025 and is the next step in the development of the new single integrated organisation, capable of delivering at global scale.

Sarah Bailey, PentenAmio Group CEO, said: “I’m delighted to welcome David, Andy and the entire Armour Communications team to PentenAmio and look forward to working with them as we continue to deliver an expanding suite of innovative solutions for our countries’ security needs. At its heart, PentenAmio is about protecting those who protect us and this acquisition will help us continue to do exactly that by securing technology that is vital to our ecosystem.”

David Holman, Armour Communications’ Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer said: “We’ve been working with the PentenAmio team for over eight years, so we’ve seen firsthand the skill, experience and pedigree they bring to innovation, forward leading capabilities and an unwavering commitment to customer delivery in our industry. I know I speak for us all when I say that we are looking forward to working even more closely together as our companies enter this exciting new chapter.”

This acquisition brings Armour Communications’ team of specialists into the 300-strong PentenAmio team, adding a wealth of engineering talent, especially in key skills areas such as secure app development.
