Actionwide and GTP Consulting have signed a strategic partnership alliance that will allow both companies to draw on the joint expertise of their respective consultants and develop a greater share of client revenue. This deal leverages the complementary skills in both businesses which specialise in providing blue chip clients with Project Management and implementation services. Dr Boyd-Annells, Senior Partner with GTP commented: “most clients now expect to purchase integrated services that span across major business disciplines. GTP is uniquely placed to deliver market-facing initiatives such as corporate rebranding or product launches, whilst Actionwide have earned their reputation in delivering the IT systems that underpin business change. We are delighted by this new development and truly believe that the sum of our parts will make for a greater whole.”
Dom Fisher, Director of Business Development with Actionwide added: “GTP and Actionwide have had a working relationship for over 10 years and can see obvious and beneficial synergies in this alliance that will result in improved client services. We now have the opportunity to take on the breadth of business change delivery.”
In recent weeks GTP have won a major contract from Royal London, the UK’s largest independent Mutual Group.
