SCH Distribution is buying IQ Sys Limited - the UK's leading Citrix distie.

The deal will give the combined entity 60 per cent of UK Citrix sales. Sir Peter Rigby's SCH claims to be Europe's largest private technology group - it turns over almost £1bn a year.

SCH will maintain IQ's Sys Identity product as a separate brand.

IQ Sys was spun out of training company QA-IQ Group which will now focus on education services. ®
