London Based Professional Services Group acquires FDU as it enters Recruitment Sector

Fusion Consulting Group, a multi-disciplinary consulting practice is pleased to announce its entrance into the Recruitment Sector.

Mitch Young and Adam Maurice formed Fusion Consulting in 2015 to cater to the Private Client and SME sectors providing a broad range of services including International Taxation, Business Advisory, Accounting, Financial Services, Legal Services and Digital Marketing.

The firm has acquired FDU Group, an established international executive search and recruitment firm, dedicated to Finance, Business and Operations to provide the platform for its new Fusion Recruitment business.

The group secured an M&A war-chest from SME Capital in October 2022 to disrupt the Professional Services sector, and this transaction is one of six strategic acquisitions that the group are looking to complete in 2023.

Fusion Recruitment will provide recruitment services to the SME and Mid-Market for both permanent hires and interim placements and will soon launch its CFO as a Service offering, matching experienced fractional CFO’s to fast-growth SME’s to enable hyper-growth with tailored and bespoke advisory services.

Adam Maurice, Director of Fusion said: “Finance and Operations are the lifeblood of all fast growth SME’s and we are delighted to now be able to provide permanent and temporary personnel alongside fractional CFO services to our existing clients and the wider SME community. FDU’s team shared our vision from the start, and we are keen to expand the portfolio of services whilst backing a great team.”

Adam Bloch, Head of Fusion Recruitment (previously CEO of FDU) commenting on the transaction said: “I am thrilled to be joining Fusion alongside my existing FDU team of specialist recruiters to create this new division within the group’s portfolio, and I am excited about the new propositions we can deliver to our prospects and clients moving forward as part of Fusion.”

Fusion Consulting Group is one of a handful of companies in the UK that has been able to create a truly joined-up multi-disciplinary offering to private clients and SME businesses and continues to seek to disrupt the fragmented advice and ‘advisory gap’ which has become customary when working with multiple advisors.
