Vantage HBA (VHBA) has acquired the business of Isle of Man-based company Arpeggio.
VHBA, a Jersey-based specialist human resources advisory and recruitment firm, also provides remuneration surveys for all job levels and pay sectors. It has provided surveys in the Channel Islands for 22 years and in the Isle of Man for the past 16.
As well as offering a similar range of advisory services to VHBA, Arpeggio has for the past 14 years delivered salary and benefits reviews in the Isle of Man through its Arpeggio Pay Club.
The acquisition will mean VHBA will double the number of firms participating in its survey across the Isle of Man. The new Isle of Man organisation will trade as Vantage Arpeggio.
VHBA Managing Director Verienne Belcher (pictured) commented: “The acquisition of Arpeggio forms part of our ongoing growth strategy in the Isle of Man and, having spent time talking with clients, I've recognised there is a clear market need for the type of market intelligence our survey provides.”
There will be no redundancies. The only two members of staff – Directors Julie Callow and Peter Pell-Hiley – are planning to pursue other projects separately.
