Core-Asset Solutions supported a high-profile strategic acquisition between two major UK-based financial services organisations.

The transaction required a significant organisational restructure and a complex operational separation across both businesses. The acquisition resulted in substantial growth for the acquiring firm and a redefinition of business focus for the divesting organisation.

The Challenge

The integration and separation programme was large in scale and complexity. It involved multiple business units, legacy systems, and overlapping operational functions. The client faced the dual challenge of managing divestment and integration activities simultaneously, while also ensuring continuity for staff, clients, and customers.

To navigate this, the business required high-calibre change and transformation professionals: people capable of delivering in high-pressure environments while supporting both immediate restructuring and longer-term transition plans.

During the period of integration, hiring activity increased significantly, with a 95% rise in vacancies at the acquiring firm and a 141% increase at the divesting organisation.

Our ability to scale and maintain delivery standards was critical to supporting business continuity and transformation momentum.

Roles placed included project managers, IT project managers, test managers, PMO specialists, finance change consultants, marketing professionals, HR experts, and client service professionals. Each was selected not only for technical capability but also for adaptability in a rapidly evolving environment.

The Outcome

The successful delivery of experienced professionals helped ensure a smooth transition throughout the separation and integration process. Key milestones were met across both organisations, and disruption to customers and internal teams was minimised.

Following the acquisition, Core-Asset Solutions developed a strong and lasting partnership with the acquiring firm. We remain a preferred supplier for ongoing change and transformation initiatives, continuing to support their growth and operational strategy.
