nGAGE Talent continues its buying spree with the acquisition of Science Solutions.
nGAGE Talent; one of the largest privately owned UK recruitment groups, has acquired Science Solutions Recruitment Limited the specialist Life Sciences and Chemical Engineering recruitment business. Hot on the heels of it’s recent South African acquisition of Smart4Energy, the march further into super niche STEM end markets for the nGAGE Talent Group continues on apace. As part of the transaction the business will be re-branded into two niche brands to focus on its specialisms – Smart4Sciences and Smart4Chemicals.
The acquired business will continue to be lead by its two founders – Andrew Corness and Joseph Mulligan – and with support from the nGAGE management team they have ambitious plans for future growth in the UK, Europe and US.
Tim Cook nGAGE CEO commented. “This is what sets nGAGE apart, we can enable management to accelerate their ambitious growth plans whilst retaining their identity and culture giving them all the benefits of being part of a larger group. Strategically this acquisition develops our STEM offering further by giving us real expertise in Life Sciences and Chemical Engineering.”
Smart4Chemical’s Managing Director, Andrew Corness, added “Tim’s right – it’s the nGAGE model that attracted us and will enable us to deliver our management plans to expand and grow our already great business.” While Smart4Sciences Managing Director Joseph Mulligan said “nGAGE is a natural partner for us and will provide significant capital for expansion. We’ve had a great journey so far, but this move will take us into a different league. The team, Andy and I are really up for it and looking forward to the next stage of our journey.”
nGAGE Group CEO Tim Cook, COO Adam Herron and CFO Andrew Burchall managed the transaction for nGAGE.
