Acquires Fieldcall Fast growing debt collection
agency Clarity Credit Management Solutions Ltd has acquired
specialist field collection and reporting business Fieldcall
for an undisclosed sum. Fieldcall will remain at its
premises near Towcester and continue to provide its
existing range of services in addition to complementing
Clarity’s core business.
Fieldcall
directors Geoff Poundes and David Williams will remain
on the board with Clarity’s Chief Executive Garry
Stran becoming Chairman. Clarity’s finance director
Steve Johnson will also join the board.
This
is the first acquisition by Clarity and represents a
major step in its plans to build a leading edge, end-to-end,
credit management group.
Says
Garry Stran: “Fieldcall has excellent synergies
with the Clarity business model. The recoveries marketplace
is evolving and the use of field counsellors, as an
embedded part of the collection process, will become
widespread as the need to collect not only payments
but information becomes integral to recovery rates.
The functionality offered by the Fieldcall system to
get cases to counsellors in a controlled, fast and paperless
manner was particularly attractive to us. The management
team’s commitment to quality, through the use
of ‘best in class’ counsellors, further
enhanced our view of the business. We look forward to
working with Geoff and David to deliver growth and build
on the fantastic service they give to clients.”
“This
development is hugely exciting for us all,” said
Geoff Poundes, Director of Fieldcall. “Clarity
is embarking on a ground-breaking strategy that we are
proud to be a part of. We look forward to the enhanced
business opportunities and services we will be able
to offer to our growing list of blue-chip clients.”
Fieldcall
currently operates throughout the UK providing field
collection and reporting services utilising 120 counsellors,
widely acknowledged to be among the best field force
personnel in the industry. As well as payment negotiation
the team provides counselling, status reporting, re-possession
services and pre-sue reporting. |
