PwC expands regional team following acquisition

PwC has expanded its regional team following the acquisition of a people technology consultancy.

The firm, which has its East Midlands office at Castle Donington, completed a deal to buy People Force in April.

People Force supports clients through the implementation of Dayforce, Ceridian’s flagship cloud human capital management platform that provides human resources, payroll, benefits, workforce management and talent management functionality.

Now, 25 People Force staff have been added to PwC’s Birmingham and Donington offices.

According to PwC, the acquisition makes it one of the largest Ceridian implementation partners in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with a team of more than 60 specialists in the UK.

Matthew Hammond, PwC UK Midlands regional market leader and Birmingham senior partner, said: “We are thrilled to welcome members of the People Force team to our Birmingham and Donington Court offices.

“Businesses, in the UK and globally, are investing and moving to the cloud at pace.

“Accordingly, People Force’s market-leading technology expertise enables us to provide our clients with even greater human-led, tech-powered innovation solutions to help them drive efficiencies and cost savings, both in their HR processes and across the workforce as a whole.

“The team will bolster our expertise here in the region and across the UK.”

The acquisition of People Force is one the latest investments in the Midlands by PwC, which also saw the recruitment of 160 graduates in the region and the acquisition of Olive Horse last year.
