The 20 MSP Bolsters Southeastern Footprint with 37th Acquisition
The 20 MSP continues rapid nationwide expansion with acquisition of Alabama-based Eagle’s Wings Technologies.
PLANO, TX. Dec.3, 2024 – Leading managed service provider (MSP), The 20 MSP, today announced its thirty-seventh acquisition to date, and its eleventh of the year. This latest deal brings Alabama-based MSP Eagle’s Wings Technologies under The 20 MSP’s growing umbrella, strengthening the organization’s presence in the Southeastern United States and maintaining strong growth momentum to close out the year.
Headquartered in Enterprise, Alabama, Eagle’s Wings Technologies (President/CEO – Greg Padgett) joined The 20’s acclaimed membership-based growth platform and peer group, The 20 MSP Group, in 2018 in an effort to enhance scalability, streamline operations, and dedicate more time to focusing on business growth and client success.
Since joining the group, Eagle’s Wings has experienced significant year-on-year growth, tripling in size and expanding its service capabilities to include clients in two additional states. “It’s dramatically transformed the way that we do business,” said Padgett, whose MSP won “Support Desk Favorite” in 2023 at the VISION Awards, The 20’s annual honors for top-performing MSPs in its peer group.
“Greg [Padgett] has built something really special – and very much by design,” shared Tim Conkle, The 20’s founder and CEO, and the architect of his company’s bold M&A strategy. “When he came to us back in 2018 looking for help, he understood that the end game was being able to step away from the day-to-day stuff and focus instead on scaling the business and driving long-term growth. Seeing him do exactly that – and transform his company from a break/fix-focused outfit into a thriving regional MSP – has been incredibly inspiring. It’s also been a powerful reminder that what we’re doing works!”
The 20’s leadership team shares in Conkle’s enthusiasm and looks forward to working closely with Eagle’s Wings’ core team to ensure a smooth transition for employees and clients alike.
The 20’s M&A spree began in 2022 with a flurry of acquisitions and has continued at a consistent pace. The company’s consolidation strategy is centered around acquiring ‘member MSPs’ – MSPs that belong to The 20 MSP Group – but also extends to identifying high-potential businesses that align with The 20’s values and growth vision.
Conkle commented on the critical role that talented people and strong leadership play in driving The 20’s growth momentum and success. “From the outside looking in, people tend to focus solely on the balance sheet and on the remarkable growth we’ve achieved in just two short years,” shared Conkle. “But the lynchpin of these deals – the real magic – isn’t neatly quantifiable, as it lies in the talent and expertise we’re adding with each new roll-up. The MSP owners—now shareholders—are the ones who keep The 20 evolving and agile in an industry that demands it. So I’ll say it again: our greatest differentiator is our people.”
Pinecrest Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP on the acquisition and associated financing. The 20 has additional acquisitions lined up in the coming months.
