Chatterbox bought by CSE Global

Chatterbox has been acquired by CSE Global, an international systems integrator with offices in more than 20 countries, and has been rebranded as CSE Chatterbox.

The company was founded nearly 30 years ago in Surrey and supplies bespoke integrated two-way radio systems and offers radios on short-term hire for events.

Gary Leatherby, founder and managing director of Chatterbox, and who will remain as managing director for CSE Chatterbox with a remit for expanding operations in the UK, said: “We have developed Chatterbox into one of the UK’s leading radio communications suppliers over the last 27 years. The support of CSE Global will now enable the business to continue to grow into new sectors, offering an expanded range of technologies to our existing and new clients in public, government and private sectors.

“In addition to our clients receiving the same attention to detail and individual service, they will now gain additional benefit from Chatterbox being part of a larger organisation with better technical, financial and resource power.”

This is the first step in CSE Global’s expansion plan for the UK and EMEA, and to this end it has established CSE Crosscom UK as an umbrella company for CSE Chatterbox and other entities that join its UK operation.
