Latest Acquisitions by Teya

Bookham Services
MeaWallet
A-Heads Consulting
SO Connect
Description
Bookham Services Limited was a British company formed in October 2022 to hold a financial software business before its sale to SaltPay. The business developed a cloud platform through which clients could launch credit products and lending services. Its activities sat within the technology infrastructure used by financial-services providers rather than the operation of a consumer lender. The company received the predecessor business’s assets and liabilities through a corporate reorganization before the acquisition. The subsequent sale transferred Bookham’s shares to the buyer, preserving a distinct legal target for that transaction. The acquisition record therefore refers to Bookham Services rather than substituting the predecessor company or a later SaltPay subsidiary. No dedicated website for this historical legal entity has been verified.

Headquartered in Wroclaw, Poland, it builds web and mobile applications using Java, .NET, and cloud platforms like AWS. The team supports digital transformation projects in finance, logistics, and healthcare across the EU.
SO Connect is a Dutch provider of software that helps local businesses manage their visibility and reputation online.
