Richard Clancy, Group CEO of Vesta, stated “Today we welcome MWC into our portfolio. MWC’s status as the leading independent vendor of Cegid Retail in the UK and the company’s proven ability to develop, deliver and maintain integrations between POS software and global payment service providers, will enhance Vesta’s existing presence in the merchant services market. We look forward to supporting the company, its employees and clients in growing and strengthening their service offerings.”

Deciding to move to the next phase of the company’s evolution was made easier by Vesta’s style and vision for the future. Our goals, ambitions and values are very much aligned, and we are confident that with Vesta’s backing, we will continue to grow and offer the same level of services to our existing customer base and into new markets.”
