Western becomes part of TICTS and continues successful growth

Westers, an ICT specialist focusing on clients in the healthcare and Dutch SME sectors with an integrated offering of IT and telecom services, is joining Total ICT Solutions (TICTS).

TICTS is the distinctive one-stop-shop platform for the Dutch business community in IT and telecommunications which, with the support of Strikwerda Investments, began in 2022 with the acquisition of Score Utica.

Unique mix

Westers was founded by Martijn Westers in 2010 and later Robin Nijhof joined to build the ICT service provider into an organization with 35 employees. As a successful service provider, Westers was looking for a partner to take the next step together. TICTS offers entrepreneurs a unique mix of knowledge, expertise and capital in which entrepreneurs are brought together to create new insights and opportunities and grow their businesses solidly. By joining TICTS, Westers can remain focused on its customers and continue to work with other entrepreneurs within TICTS on improvements and innovative services. Entirely in keeping with the TICTS philosophy: The freedom to grow. Together.

Continuing to learn

Robin Nijhof, CEO at Westers, says: "Our success has been driven by constant focus on customer needs. TICTS offers us a combination of expert knowledge and an environment where you can advance through collaboration with other entrepreneurs. That's what Westers and its clients need so we can continue to provide the best service to our clients."

"Entrepreneurs like Robin Nijhof are open to new ideas, and these are entrepreneurs we can move forward with. By proactively sharing knowledge, we can continue to learn. Western's strong position in healthcare is a strong addition to continue building TICTS together," said Nils Vermeulen, GM at TICTS.

Within TICTS, Westers will continue to operate as an independent ICT service provider under its own brand and independent management from its existing offices in Eemnes and Capelle aan den IJssel.
