[London, ENGLAND] Horizon Technology Group announced
Tuesday that it has acquired Commerce NTI, one of the
U.K.’s top e-commerce solutions companies.
Commerce NTI is said to have a strong skills base
across a whole range of e-commerce technologies,
including security, banking, scalable transaction
architectures, and software development. It employs

the design, build and support of enterprise level
e-commerce platforms.
“The management team has clearly demonstrated their
ability to grow quickly and profitably,” he added.
Speaking for Commerce NTI, Joint Managing Director
Neil Jolliffe said the two companies would be able
to leverage their respective skill sets, customer
knowledge, market vision and business experience to
enhance the growth and performance of the whole
group.
Among Commerce NTI clients have been many blue chip
companies requiring high value, large volume e-commerce
solutions. They include Cable & Wireless, Toys ‘R’
Us, British Red Cross, Dun & Bradstreet, ft.com,
AutoTrader and Pharmacydirect.
In a further announcement Tuesday, Horizon
Technology Group said it had appointed a new
chief financial officer. Cathal O’Caoimh joins
the company from Hibernian Group/Norwich Union Ireland
