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.”
