Baqus, which is listed on the alternative investment market, said the deal would boost its education and public sector business.
Clive Sayer, Baqus chief executive, said: “Sworn King has an excellent reputation in the education and public sector markets, which were two key areas we highlighted in our expansion plans.â€
