| | Specialist management
consultancy, Baringa
Partners LLP, is
celebrating the second
anniversary of the
launch of its financial
services consultancy
practice. Despite
turbulent macroeconomic
conditions, the firm has
rapidly built up a
stable of prominent
clients, with eight
top-tier names including
Barclays, AXA, Lloyds,
UBS and RBS. Baringa’s
financial services
practice headcount has
also grown strongly,
soaring from just two at
the launch to more than
30 at the present time.
Adrian Bettridge,
managing partner of the
financial services
practice at Baringa
Partners said: “These
difficult times are
leading clients to
sharpen their focus on
the value delivered by
their external
consultants. Clients
come to us and stay with
us because we offer
unbeatable value in
terms of quality,
expertise and measurable
results. We
differentiate ourselves
through the depth of our
banking experience, the
expertise in our
consulting team and our | |
|
| | proven ability to create
trusted partnerships
with clients that enable
us help them shape, plan
and execute their change
agenda. All this,
without the overheads
associated with working
with the big 4
consultancies is proving
to be extremely
compelling for clients
and prospects alike.”
Baringa Partners is
working on several
large-scale
business-critical
transformation projects
for leading
institutions, including
post-merger integration
and Basel II
implementation for the
Lloyds Banking Group.
Other key projects have
included a major
payments infrastructure
renewal programme, a
credit risk renewal
programme and in-depth
work on front office
operating models. As
demonstrated in
delivering these
projects the firm has
extensive experience in
leading intensive,
strategic change
programmes, but has also
remained nimble enough
to tackle smaller,
high-value advisory
projects.

Mohamed Mansour,
managing partner, said:
“The launch of our
financial services
practice coincided with
the start of one of the
world’s worst economic
crises. Its ongoing
success is not only a
testament to the
leadership team and our
focus on creating
trusted partnerships
with our clients, but
also to the skill,
experience and
dedication of our
consultants. We are
committed to fostering a
positive and empowering
working culture, and
strive to create an
environment that
attracts knowledgeable
people with specialist
consultancy skills who
know their sectors
inside out through years
of personal experience.”
Looking forward, risk
management is set to
remain top of Baringa’s
agenda as the financial
industry continues to
feel the effects of the
economic crisis. The
firm is also planning to
make some strategic
senior hires to support
its move into the
Insurance sector. | |
