Parity Group has launched a new service aimed at helping clients identify, anticipate and fill skills requirements in the medium to long term.

The plans were revealed in a statement ahead of the UK IT and consultancy services company’s annual general meeting today.

Group non-executive chairman Lord Freeman will reveal, as detailed in its full-year results in March 2016, that “strong” momentum has continued across the firm’s core businesses, Parity Professionals and Parity Consultancy Services, and trading is in line with the board's expectations for the full year ended 31 December 2016.

The statement also reveals Parity is creating additional services for clients that will analyse and predict customer's requirements for critical skills and work with them to tailor solutions to meet these needs.

The group adds it is initially targeting markets where it has presence, experience and which are undergoing significant change, including digital and cloud-based technical skills; project management, particularly related to Agile development, business intelligence and master data management; as well as security and cyber skills.

Parity also says there been no material change to its financial position since the publication of its audited preliminary results on 17 March 2016.

The group also announced today that David Firth, finance director of Penna Consulting, recently acquired by recruitment giant Adecco, is to join the board of Parity as a non-executive director. 

Parity adds a further announcement will be made once the timing of his appointment has been formally agreed at a later date.
