The latest acquisitions news for you;
CIL Strategy Consultants has acquired the business and assets of Pearson Ham Consulting, one of Europe’s best-known specialist pricing consultancies. CIL Strategy Consultants remains the main firm-wide brand. The change is focused on the firm’s Pricing & Commercial Excellence team, which will now go to market as CIL Pearson Ham.
Pearson Ham has built a strong reputation, advising clients across sectors including retail, consumer goods, B2B services and subscription-based businesses. Its team helps organisations improve pricing strategy, delivery and governance, supported by proprietary tools, experienced consultants and long-standing client relationships.
The acquisition adds around 30 people to CIL’s Pricing & Commercial Excellence team. The combined team will operate under the CIL Pearson Ham brand, giving the pricing practice a clear market-facing identity while remaining part of CIL Strategy Consultants. It brings together CIL’s deep sector expertise and growth strategy capabilities with Pearson Ham’s specialist pricing knowledge to create one of the strongest pricing teams in the market.
Jon Whiteman, Managing Partner at CIL Strategy Consultants said: “This acquisition reflects the confidence we have in pricing as an important growth area for CIL. Clients are facing more pressure to improve commercial performance, and CIL Pearson Ham gives us a stronger platform to support them across strategy, value creation and pricing.”
Patric Kircher, CIL Pearson Ham’s Global Head of Pricing, said: “For the Pricing team, this is a real step forward. We are bringing together Pearson Ham’s specialist expertise with CIL’s existing practice, creating greater depth, broader capability and more opportunities for our people and clients.”
Tim Ham, Senior Advisor at CIL Pearson Ham, said: “We’ve built a leading reputation in pricing through consistently high-quality work and a real dedication to achieving great outcomes for our clients. I’m very excited that the team is now part of CIL, as it gives us the opportunity to bring that expertise to a broader base of clients.”
