A DATA enrichment specialist in Ellesmere Port is looking to expand its client base after buying a business in Wakefield.

Data8 has bought CNM, a data cleansing company.

Data8 was established in 2005 by Antony Allen and Richard Hartland to simplify data cleansing. They have expanded their cloud based services to include verification and validation applications.

Managing director Antony Allen said: “We have been looking for opportunities to expand our client base. When we were approached by CNM we recognised there was a degree of synergy between the two companies with little crossover of clients.

“This allows data8 to expand its client base and also gives the opportunity to cross sell the services that data8 specialises in. CNM has obtained a deserved reputation within the industry for its quality of service and we at data8 are able to offer clients a range of additional services such as our cloud based verification and validation applications.”
