GLE Group today announces the acquisition of the business of Kingston Smith Consulting LLP (KSC), a governance and risk management business within the Kingston Smith Group. KSC is an expert provider of advice on all areas of governance, risk management, controls assurance and compliance. This acquisition will lay the foundation for a new part of the GLE Group, to be known as GLE Consulting.

The acquisition will give GLE Group the potential to leverage the expertise within KSC to develop and grow services to meet the demands of existing and future clients in the UK and overseas.

GLE Consulting’s key market differentiators will continue to be delivering experienced staff, competitive pricing, as well as a willingness to build client capacity by sharing intellectual property and by training teams to avoid on-going reliance on outside assistance.

Chris Manson, CEO of GLE Group, commented:

“We are delighted to announce this acquisition and to welcome the KSC business into the GLE Group. The newly formed GLE Consulting will offer the transferring KSC employees the opportunity to flourish in their new roles and actively contribute to a growing area of GLE Group. “
