FTSE 250 firm Gamma Communications is set to go private in a £1 billion deal.

London private equity house Epiris has agreed terms with the board of the technology firm, which will now seek shareholder approval for the takeover.

Gamma, led by CEO Andrew Belshaw, is a European business communications tech provider which employs more than 2,000 people.

Two other PE houses entered takeover discussions this summer but pulled out.

Gamma, whose core markets are the UK and Germany – with additional presence in Spain and the Benelux region – completed a restructuring last year to slash annual operating expenses by £7 million.
