With 15 years of supporting the renewables and utilities sector, the UK arm of Consult Energy will now sit under the VIQU group, alongside VIQU IT, positioning both businesses for further future success, according to a company statement. 

As part of the investment, the Consult Energy team will relocate to VIQU’s recently redeveloped offices in Edgbaston, Birmingham, giving colleagues from both businesses the opportunity to come together under one roof.

“Bringing Consult Energy and VIQU together will create a remarkable synergy and open up exciting opportunities for our colleagues,” says Richard Bartlett (pictured left), managing director of Consult Energy. “I’m thrilled to be working with the team at VIQU, and we are enthusiastic about this collaboration, which will enable us to offer even more to our clients.”

Matt Collingwood (pictured right), MD of VIQU, adds: “I am really excited about the opportunity to bring two of the strongest professional recruitment brands together, to share knowledge and resources, which will positively impact their respective sectors and ultimately grow both businesses.” 

Sid Barnes, owner of Mastermind Consulting and managing partner of Elite Leaders, was also instrumental in the deal taking place.
