ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI- July 22, 2021 – Thompson Street Capital Partners (TSCP), a private equity firm based in St. Louis, announced today that they have acquired Wholesale Carrier Services (WCS), a Coral Springs, Florida-based owner and operator of a facilities-based IP-enabled voice and data network.
Geoff Bloss, BCM One’s CEO said, “WCS is a natural fit and there are tremendous synergies with our solutions portfolio and family-like culture. Their carrier-grade network, worldwide presence in 500+ cities and channel focus align with our continuing investments in those areas.”
