Capita Symonds is part of the FTSE100 Capita Group plc and employs 3,300 staff in 45 UK offices and another five overseas. It has doubled its turnover to £200m in the two years to 2005 and is one of the fastest growing firms in the consultancy and engineering sector.
Commenting on its new ACE membership, Capita Symonds managing director Richard Marchant said: "We made a conscious decision to join ACE as it is the leading business association in our sector. ACE can help Capita Symonds by being an ambassador for consultancy and engineering and by being an active member we can in turn have a greater influence in the industry.
ACE chief executive Nelson Ogunshakin said: "Capita Symonds joining ACE further validates our strategy to truly refocus our operation as the voice of the consultancy and engineering sector. Capita Symonds is the third large firm to join ACE in the last six months and we are delighted to gain its membership. It is one of the fastest growing and most successful firms in our sector and I look forward to working with its people in the UK and across their international operations."
