Acquisitions and disposals
In January 2000 when we started looking at the sale of Proudfoot Japan it was worth more than the market capitalisation of the group as a whole. The business was very successful with a consistent record of profitability and growth. We took the view that the disposal would allow us to raise substantial funds to invest in the crucial European and North American markets and by structuring the deal as a management buy out we could retain a close operational alliance.
In line with our strategy, we saw Ineum as an opportunity to secure a well-managed profitable business with growing revenues and a strong established brand that is complementary to MCG's existing businesses. The acquisition broadened MCG's consulting offerings to existing and potential new clients as well as introducing industry specific services. The addition of Ineum diversified MCG's geographic focus by increasing European presence and reducing dependence on the United States.
The acquisition of Kurt Salmon Associates expanded the Group's industry-led offerings with the addition of an international market leader, thereby further raising the Group's profile, particularly in the US. It deepened the Group's talent pool and further increased opportunities to cross sell the services of the Group's other consultancies to the enlarged client base.
