Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Dyrand is an IT support provider with 20 years of experience. The company’s managing directors Ed Anderson and Nicholas Drayer, as well as the rest of the team at Dyrand, will remain in their current roles, the seller said. Dyrand will continue to operate as a stand-alone entity under its current brand as a Canadian incorporation, Executech announced.
This is the second Canadian company that Executech has acquired in the last 12 months. In August 2021, the company acquired another Vancouver-based company, Nucleus.

About Alpine Investors and Evergreen Services Group
Executech has been backed by Evergreen Services Group since around January 2018. Evergreen Services Group has built a $200 million+ revenue business through 35 MSP acquisitions, the firm tells ChannelE2E.
Evergreen was funded by Alpine Investors, a private equity firm. It's a safe bet Evergreen Services Group will remain in MSP acquisition mode. The evidence: Alpine Investors has raised $2.25 billion, and a portion of that money has been earmarked for more MSP investments and acquisitions, ChannelE2E confirmed in October 2021.
Dig into the new Alpine Investors Fund VIII, and you’ll notice that it includes the formation of Evergreen II -- which essentially is a financial war chest for Everygreen Services Group.
