Webster Bank provided a $110 million debt financing loan to Ensono, a hybrid IT services provider that works with its clients to deliver progressive solutions to help them operate their IT infrastructure.  The loan will be used to finance the acquisition of Attenda, one of the UK's leading managed services and cloud platform providers.  Webster Bank led the transaction, which was an add-on to an existing $85 million buyout financing dating back to 2015.

Developing a reputation as a trusted advisor for sponsors and borrowers alike represents a key initiative for Webster Bank's Sponsor & Specialty Group. To this end, Webster Bank hopes to build on recent momentum to increase its presence as a lead left lender.

"We've enjoyed great momentum within the IT infrastructure industry and believe that the Ensono financing represents our capabilities," says Matt Kane, managing director and head of Webster Bank's Telecom and Technology Group.  "We're excited to support MC Partners, Charlesbank Capital Partners and the company as they continue to expand."
