18 September 2018 Consultancy.uk

Financial services consultancy MHC has opened its second and third office in the UK. Sheffield and Manchester add to the firm’s established London head office – taking MHC’s global footprint to 18 operations hubs across four continents.

Over the course of nine years in business, Mansion House Consulting (MHC) has transitioned from its English roots to being an international consulting player. Founded in 2009 in London, the business and technology consultancy remains focused exclusively on the financial services sector, also providing implementation execution and project management support to clients, helping them with change programmes driven by digital transformation.

Thanks to the rising demand for such services, MHC has since opened offices in Frankfurt, Singapore, New York and Jacksonville, Florida. As a result, MHC has seen fast-paced growth on a global scale, winning multiple awards for their performance as a leading Technology and Business Consultancy specialising in the Financial Services sector. The firm’s rapid expansion has been noticed around the world, being ranked in the London Stock Exchange’s 1,000 Companies to inspire Britain in 2015 and 2017, as well as in The Financial Times’ FT 1000: Europe’s fastest growing Companies in 2017.

Now, the consultancy has announced a further push for growth, as it expands into Northern England. The North is seeing an improved economic outlook in recent years, with the mid-market economy of Yorkshire for example having recently added 13,800 jobs to the region, amid growing profits. As a result, a number of firms are in the process of beefing up their process in the area, in order to make the most of expanding firms in all industries looking to hit the next phase of growth. RSM and Ramboll are among those who have sought to tap into this potential demand in Manchester in particular.

MHC has become the latest of these, adding two new offices to its Northern presence, one of which is in Manchester, in Peter House, Oxford Street. According to the firm, the office is a new, modern and vibrant state of the art space, which is located in the heart of the city centre. The new location has been chosen with the company’s staff and clients in mind for their comfort and convenience, and for facilitation of collaborative working across MHC’s local and global teams.

At the same time, MHC has added a location in Sheffield. The new space is based on 1 Concourse Way, Sheffield. MHC’s operations in Sheffield started back in 2017 when MHC obtained large scale business in the region, which allowed the company to extend their core service offering around Cyber security, Ecosystem monitoring, Payments, Delivery assurance and Technology infrastructure transformation. Both locations were supplied by flexible workspace solutions firm Regus.

Commenting on expansion MHC CEO Gerard Kenny commented, “We have identified a growing requirement and associated opportunities in the north of England and are now growing our UK footprint to better service our clients in this fast-growing region. Our expansion drive in Sheffield and Manchester is a sign of our commitment to our existing clients within these UK locations and our appetite is to scale our offering, leveraging our global experience and capability and strengthen MHC’s brand presence in the domestic market.”

Moving forward, MHC is now looking to recruit. The firm hopes to grow its headcount as a further provider of revenue growth, and are actively recruiting for a range of positions in the new locations in particular.
