FutureRange completes second acquisition of 2026

Author: Irish Tech News May 14, 2026 Duration: 2:39
FutureRange, one of Ireland's leading IT managed service providers, has completed its second acquisition of the year with the purchase of Echo IT, a Nenagh-based IT services provider, strengthening its presence in Munster as it continues to scale across the island of Ireland.
The move builds on FutureRange's previously announced growth strategy, including plans to create up to 50 roles over the next 24 months, as organisations place increasing importance on cyber security, cloud and managed IT services.
Echo IT supports clients across multiple sectors including veterinary, distribution, medical and agri-foods, and will be integrated into FutureRange's Limerick operations, enhancing regional delivery while maintaining continuity for clients.
FutureRange operates as a security-first managed services partner, helping organisations manage increasingly complex technology environments. Its capabilities include cyber security, cloud and infrastructure services, and the structured adoption of data and AI.
The two businesses have an established working relationship, particularly in cyber security, with strong alignment across technology platforms and service approach, supporting a straightforward integration.
Danny McEntee, Managing Director of FutureRange, said the acquisition reflects continued execution of the company's growth plans.
"This is another step in delivering our all-island growth strategy. Echo IT is a strong regional business with deep client relationships, and there is a natural fit in how we approach service delivery and technology," he said.
"We are seeing consistent demand from organisations for partners who can provide clarity, security and long-term support as their environments become more complex. This strengthens our ability to deliver that across the country, and we will continue to invest where it supports our clients and our long-term strategy."
FutureRange continues to assess further growth opportunities as part of its expansion plans.
Donal Bray, Managing Director of Echo IT, said the move is a positive step for clients and staff.
"We have built Echo IT around strong relationships and a practical, client-first approach. Joining FutureRange allows us to continue that while giving our clients access to broader expertise and a more resilient service platform," he said.
The acquisition represents a further step in FutureRange's all-island growth strategy as the business continues to expand its footprint and invest in capability in line with evolving client needs.
