Developing Wavestone’s Growth Agenda

Wavestone, the number one independent consulting firm in France, acquired Xceed as part of exciting growth plans to accelerate International development and increase revenue outside of France to?€100m over the next three years. Reaching this target will position Wavestone as a truly Global consultancy.

Commenting on the announcement, Mike Newlove, UK Partner at Wavestone says “The two companies have very quickly integrated and are already delivering combined projects for our clients.  It’s clear the services we offer are very complementary and together we can further expand our offerings to our clients. 

International growth is a strategic priority for Wavestone and the UK is a key market to delivering this growth plan. The UK office will double its capacity within the next month and we are expanding the UK team further in order to fulfil our strategic plans.”
