In 2013, Darwin Private Equity acquired Esendex for £11 million[3] and at the end of the year, Esendex acquired Text Marketer[4] a UK-based SMS provider as part of an acquisition strategy. Derby-based intelligent multi-channel messaging provider, Collstream, was acquired by Esendex in 2014, providing the company with a range of voice solutions and IVR services.[5][6]
In 2017, backed by European technology investor HgCapital, Esendex purchased SMSpubli (Spain ), and joined with Mobyt (Italy) and SMS Envoi (France ), forming one of Europe's largest business messaging companies.
