Capita launches financial services consultancy practice

Capita Consulting has launched a new financial services consulting practice headed by Tony Tarquini, former head of financial services at Celerant Consulting.

The operation will work for clients within the Capita Group as well as banks, insurers and life and pensions companies.

Tarquini said: ‘Our plan is quite unique: to build a market leading operational consulting practice in financial services, based on having done it in our own business. We will be targeting organisations that need help with doing more and better with less – and right now that is a big market.’

Capita is an administrator of life and pensions business in the UK, servicing around 26 million policies and runs local and central government practices.

Managing director, Mark Wyllie said: ‘Our long term aim is to compete directly with the tier one consultancies with a new breed of pragmatic consulting. Tony’s experience will help us to significantly grow this business.’
