Capita branches out into financial services consulting

Capita has announced the launch of its new financial services consulting practice.

The new operation will target financial services companies, including insurers, as well as working for clients within the Capita Group. The financial services practice will complement Capita Consulting’s existing local and central government practices.

Former Celerant Consulting head of financial services Tony Tarquini, who has a track record of consultancy work with major insurers and brokers, will head the new operation.

Capita Consulting managing director Mark Wyllie said “Our long term aim is to compete directly with the tier one consultancies with a new breed of pragmatic consulting. Tony’s experience will help us to significantly grow this business.”

“The new practice will focus on bringing rigour, consistency and strong results orientation to business improvement and transition programmes, leveraging the substantial existing experience and expertise within Capita to drive continuously improving operational performance for its clients.”
