"In figures filed at the UK’s Companies House, BSS reported turnover of £277m for the year ended 28 February 2018, up 28.4 per cent on the prior fiscal. Did someone say software reselling was dead?"
As soon as I read that I thought a likely explanation was that they'd bought in business by taking over another company.
Oh look, that's what they did: "Cash in the business dropped by £20.6m, principally to fund the new group acquisition. In 2017, BSS snapped up rival reseller Phoenix Software for £35.9m."
So how much of that 28.4% was actual growth and how much was acquired?
