Gateley acquires human capital business for £3.4m

Listed law firm and professional services group Gateley has snapped up the T-three Group for £3.4 million.

T-three complements Kiddy & Partners, which Gateley acquired in July 2018, creating one of the largest specialist human capital consultancy businesses in the UK.

The company will continue to trade under its existing name from its offices in Cambourne. In the year ended 30 September 2019, it posted revenues of £4.2 million.

Gateley CEO Michael Ward said: “We are delighted to welcome the T-three team to our growing, successful group. We see huge potential from the Acquisition in further expanding our Human Capital consultancy services, as T-three and Kiddy play to each other’s strengths and fit well alongside our legal teams. T-three is another good example of the execution of our stated plan of being able to diversify our business and offer clients complementary business services that support the delivery of our legal services. It will sit within our Employment and Pensions group.

“Kiddy has made excellent progress as part of Gateley and demonstrated growth of almost 37 per cent ahead of our original expectations, generating £3 million of fees since acquisition. The opportunity to leverage the strengths of both T-three and Kiddy in the Human Capital space is a really exciting one for us all, particularly given the skills and experience within their teams and the calibre of clients both businesses have in their portfolios.”
