The Vantage Group has purchased specialist human resources consultancy, Hassell Blampied Associates (HBA).
HBA, headquartered in Jersey, was established in 1996 and offers remuneration surveys, HR advisory and recruitment services to companies in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Vantage’s HR company, Vantage Personnel will from now on be known as Vantage HBA, ensuring that both brands are retained under the new structure.
Richard Packman, CEO Vantage said: “Vantage Personnel has grown significantly since its inception in 2015 in both Jersey and Guernsey. This purchase is the logical next step in our growth strategy. The complementary service provision offered and the similar cultures of the two organisations will ensure that the re-structuring will be as seamless as possible for both clients and staff."
"There were clear synergies and shared values between our two companies, both with a clear focus on excellent service provision across all aspects of human resource management making this an ideal move for us. We recognise that this investment will allow us to take the company to the next level. This is an exciting opportunity for Vantage and forms part of our on-going strategic development in the Channel Islands and further afield.”
Bob Hassell, founder of HBA added: “I am delighted that we have been able to complete this deal with a company that clearly has the same emphasis on understanding and meeting client needs. In the 21 years we have been operating, we have developed strong relationships with clients, many of whom have been with us for some considerable time. I am confident that all of our clients will continue to enjoy the same quality of service under the new arrangement and I look forward to continuing to work with them and the Vantage team.”
Vantage HBA will continue to produce remuneration reports through regular pay and benefit reward surveys - a specialist market intelligence service previously offered by HBA across the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
