History

NCC Group was formed in June 1999, when the National Computing Centre sold its commercial divisions to its existing management team supported by private equity firm ECI Ventures.[4][5] This new company was named NCC Services Ltd and was renamed NCC Group Ltd in May 2000. In 2000, Rob Cotton was hired as finance director and subsequently took responsibility for the Group’s escrow division. In 2003 he led a secondary management buyout and became chief executive of NCC Group Ltd.[6] This valued the Group at £30 million and was supported by Barclays Private Equity.[7]

On July 12, 2004 NCC Group was admitted to trading on AIM, with the flotation raising £38.1 million before expenses.[3] After rapid expansion, in July 2007 the Group made the move to the London Stock Exchange's main market.[8]
