Equaterra Acquires Morgan Chambers, Creating the Market Leading Independent Sourcing Advisory Firm

Houston and London (ots/PRNewswire) - EquaTerra has acquired
Morgan Chambers, creating the market leading independent sourcing
advisory firm.

As EquaTerra and Morgan Chambers are, respectively, the world's
number one and number two top ranking Full Service Outsourcing and
Offshoring Advisors(i), the acquisition creates the advisory firm of
choice for organisations seeking to improve their business and IT
processes through shared services, outsourcing and offshoring.

The collective teams will provide unrivalled depth of knowledge
and services across all business support functions, including
Information Technology (IT), Human Resources (HR), Finance &
Accounting (F&A), Procurement and Customer Care. The firms have
additional expertise in sector-specific processes such as claims
management, mortgage processing and policy administration. The
acquisition will also broaden and solidify the firm's geographic
reach, thereby providing greater value for clients. The combined firm
has approximately 300 employees across North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific.

Mark Toon, CEO, EquaTerra said, "The leadership teams of our firms
are excited about this acquisition. We are in the unique situation of
bringing together two organisations with a strong presence in
different geographies, yet with similar cultures, methodologies and
depth of experience in the markets we serve. The expanded geographic
reach and enhanced service offerings, combined with the tenure and
expertise of our advisors makes this acquisition a positive event for
our clients, employees and business partners."

Phil Morris, CEO, Morgan Chambers said, "Both EquaTerra and
ourselves possess a relentless commitment to our clients and their
needs and objectives. We've built a well-respected advisory business
in Europe and we feel joining EquaTerra gives us the organisational
depth and geographic reach our clients need. We believe our
collective strengths will further support our clients on their
journey to create sustainable value in their business support
functions."

Robert Morgan, Chairman and founder of Morgan Chambers will leave
the organisation once the deal is complete. "Creating Morgan Chambers
back in 1994 was such an exciting opportunity and I am extremely
proud of what the company and its hugely talented staff have achieved
for our clients. I am pleased to be able to hand over to such a
likeminded organisation, which in turn provides me with the
opportunity to invest in new ventures."
