Capita Consulting has today announced the launch of its new Financial Services consulting practice and has appointed Tony Tarquini, formerly Head of Financial Services at Celerant Consulting to head up the new operation. The financial services practice will complement Capita Consulting’s existing local and central government practices.
The newly created operation will work for clients within the Capita Group and directly to financial services companies, including banks, insurers and life and pensions companies. Capita, the largest administrator of life and pensions business in the UK, servicing around 26 million policies, has built its outsourced financial services business on driving out waste and focussing on meeting and exceeding client targets and this will also be the main focus of the recently formed Financial Services consulting practice.
Capita Consulting’s Managing Director, Mark Wyllie said “Our long term aim is to compete directly with the bigger consultancies with a new breed of pragmatic consulting. Tony’s experience will help us to significantly grow this business.”
“The new practice will focus on bringing rigour, consistency and strong results orientation to business improvement and transition programmes, leveraging the substantial existing experience and expertise within Capita to drive continuously improving operational performance for its clients.
Mr Tarquini, who has been in financial services IT and consulting since the 1980’s in firms including Celerant and CSC has worked with many major insurers and brokers in the UK. He has won industry awards for automation through e-commerce and been an industry speaker on operational performance improvement, particularly using Lean Sigma and operational performance management methodologies.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Tarquini said “This is a fantastic time to join Capita Consulting. Our plan is quite unique: to build a market leading operational consulting practice in financial services, based on having done it in our own business. We will be targeting organisations that need help with doing more and better with less – and right now that is a big market.”
