Financial director Pierre Rossouw says the primary motivation for Acuity's capital raising and listing is to attract and retain exceptional human assets, increase the capital base of the group, fund growth and establish a base from which future capital can be raised. Following an aborted sale of Acuity to Adcorp, the group restructured into a single integrated brand around four business units. Business solution company Labat Africa listed a month after Acuity in June through a reverse listing into Acrem. With so many players, consulting has become a competitive profession. Many of the larger consulting firms aim to offer a full range of services, from strategic counsel to operational re-engineering to systems management.
Most clients are concerned to hire the best consultant for the project.
The convenience of having a single vendor is unlikely to be worth compromising the quality of service provided.
