Finding a partner who understood our values, culture and ambitions and was highly supportive, allowing us the autonomy to fast track them, was key in my decision. From the first meeting with Paul and his team, they have been straightforward and easy to deal with, acting with integrity throughout and have given me real confidence in the next exciting phase of our journey.”
Paul Barry, Group CEO of Phenna Group said: “I am very excited that Emma and her highly experienced team have agreed to join Phenna Group. IASME Consortium has an excellent reputation in the marketplace and fits closely with our strategy of creating a differentiated group of niche TICC businesses.
