This acquisition brings two great companies together to create a major new force in the global broadcast and media technology market.

I'm really delighted that the Snell and Quantel businesses have come together to increase the scale and scope for both, said Simon Derry, outgoing CEO at Snell. Under Ray's leadership the combined business will be able to write a new and exciting chapter moving forwards. I look forward to supporting Ray during the important period of transition.
We will be creating a new world class facility at the company headquarters in Newbury to produce the complete Quantel and Snell product range and we look forward to the new ideas generated when the two R&D teams start to interact, said Cross.
