Brennan case study

Sydney-based Brennan delivers both digital transformation services and managed IT services for growth-focused Australian businesses. It is one of the largest locally owned systems integrators in Australia, with over 1400 customers and almost $300 million in annual revenue.


Brennan sees itself as an extension of its customers’ businesses, and partners with them to help make their businesses better. Its Secure Cloud MSP offering provides outsourced IT services - including managed cloud, managed security, and managed networks as well as end user support. Brennan’s digital transformation services helps customers gain valuable insights into their data, generate competitive advantage through the use of automation and artificial intelligence, and customise applications to give staff or customers a seamless user experience.

Established in 1997, Brennan has grown consistently over its 26-year history into an award-winning MSP and now one of Australia’s largest systems integrators. The growth of the firm has been both through acquisition and organically, with levers including an expanded service offering, and new product development.

“I think Macquarie does have a really good understanding of our sector – what constitutes good, where the risks are.”

Managing Director, Brennan

A step change

Brennan first engaged with Macquarie when it was earlier in their growth journey and wanted to execute on an inorganic growth strategy to increase their footprint in the Australian technology market.


Stevens was initially drawn to the knowledge of the team at Macquarie about technology businesses, and their ability to respond to his requests quickly and effectively. 

“Within two weeks we had a proposal refreshed with current rates and a facility that dealt with the acquisition on hand,” Stevens said. “And we were live, essentially.”
