Alexander Mann Solutions takes over Capital Consulting

Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firm Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS), has acquired Capital Consulting for an undisclosed sum.

It follows a £100m management buy-out in December of AMS, led by Rosaleen Blair, chief executive, with backing from private equity group, Graphite Capital.

Blair will oversee operation of the combined company, which will continue as two separate brands.

RPO firm Capital Consulting operates in Europe and Asia Pacific, and its turnover increased from £16.9m in 2005 to £20m in 2007.

Blair said: “We have both been pioneers in professionalising the recruitment industry. This combination will give us undisputed market leadership on a global basis, while also giving us the scale to further the strategic services capabilities of both companies.”

Jeremy Tipper, the founder of Capital Consulting, said: “The two companies share a strong cultural affinity. Combining our capabilities will provide major companies with unparalleled resourcing solutions to support their strategic and operational goals.”
