Arthur Andersen Acquires UK Consultancy CHICAGO, Feb. 6, 2001 (SmartPros) In an effort to strengthen its position as a major consultancy in the United Kingdom market, Arthur Andersen has acquired the U.K. operations of e-business solutions consultancy and technology integrator Xpedior Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Xpedior said it will use proceeds for "general working capital purposes." The firm's 65-person staff and other assets will be transferred into Arthur Andersen's newly created U.K. unit, Digital Solutions, which will be headed by Chris Read, former managing director of Xpedior U.K. According to the Big Five firm, the same management team who led Xpedior U.K. will head Arthur Andersen Digital Solutions and will continue to operate out of offices in West London. "We recognized Xpedior as the best in its class, and saw it as a consultancy that could effectively combine with us to enrich our ability to deliver a full service offering from strategy to execution," said John Kerr, European head of business consulting for Arthur Andersen. -- SmartPros News Staff Send comments to information@smartpros.com 2001, Smartpros Ltd.
