PwC boosts Midlands teams with HR technology consultancy

PwC Midlands has added to its Birmingham and East Midlands teams following its acquisition of a people technology consultancy.

Twenty five staff join the firm from People Force, making PwC one of the largest Ceridian implementation partners in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a team of more than 60 specialists in the UK.

PwC’s Birmingham office will be the teams’ main base with 23 staff working from One Chamberlain Square and two based in the Donington Court.

Staff will continue People Force’s work of implementing Dayforce, Ceridian’s flagship cloud human capital management platform that provides human resources, payroll, benefits, workforce management and talent management functionality.

Matthew Hammond, PwC UK Midlands Regional Market Leader & Birmingham Senior Partner, said: “Businesses, in the UK and globally, are investing and moving to the cloud at pace.

“Accordingly, People Force’s market-leading technology expertise enables us to provide our clients with even greater human-led, tech-powered innovation solutions to help them drive efficiencies and cost savings, both in their HR processes and across the workforce as a whole. The team will bolster our expertise here in the region and across the UK.”

The acquisition of People Force is one the latest investments in the Midlands by PwC, which also saw the recruitment of 160 graduates in the region and the acquisition of Olive Horse in early 2022.

Tim Quan, Global Vice President, System Integrator Alliances at Ceridian, said: “The completed acquisition of People Force, one of Ceridian’s partners, further strengthens our longstanding relationship with PwC.

“Together, we look forward to delivering quantifiable value and world-class experiences to our shared customers through our industry-leading Dayforce platform.”
