A Birmingham-based global assurance provider has said it is rising to growing global management concerns after making its fifth acquisition in five months.
LRQA’s rapid expansion highlights its intent to redefine the future of risk management and be the go-to global partner for organisations seeking compliance and competitive advantage.
In the period, the firm has acquired UK-based Ergon Associates, carbon management leaders RESET Carbon, Canada-based StepUp Solution Services, US-based Core Business Solutions and EnviroTech EcoEngineers.
The five acquisitions aim to position the company as an integral partner in managing risk across people, planet and performance.
“These acquisitions are not just about growth – they reflect LRQA’s commitment to integrating businesses with strong, founder-led cultures,” said Jonathan Chidley, corporate development director for LRQA.
“For every acquisition we’ve made, we recognise that the owners are entrusting us with their life’s work. They want to sell to a company that values their legacy, their people and their mission.
“Crucially, we’re ensuring that expertise, relationships, and innovation continue to flourish within LRQA.”
CEO Ian Spaulding added: “Our clients are facing a radically shifting risk landscape; one that is faster, more complex and more public than ever before.
“Bringing these five companies under the LRQA umbrella ensures that our clients are staying ahead of risks that can threaten their reputation, operations and future.”
