AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Acquisition–Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint
made a strategic move by acquiring Prederi,
a leading consultancy focused on public services in the UK. The
acquisition supports BearingPoint’s overall growth objectives,
strengthens its presence in the UK, and broadens its public service

strategic, operational and cultural fit with our existing UK business.
It is another highly focused acquisition that offers an excellent
addition to our portfolio,” added James Rodger, Regional Leader UK and
Ireland for BearingPoint.

Stewart Johns, Managing Director of Prederi, commented: “We are
delighted that Prederi is joining up with BearingPoint. Our passion has
always been to provide a high quality and value for money consulting and
training service to UK Central and Local Government and the NHS. Being
with BearingPoint will enable us to accelerate our growth sustainably
and to enhance and extend what we can do for our clients in today’s
challenging climate. We look forward to working with new colleagues in
the UK and Ireland and across Europe to share know-how and develop new
