FOLLOWING the acquisition by US-based consulting group Treliant, Belfast-based Vox Financial Partners will now form the capital markets division of Treliant and will continue to serve its growing global client base under the Treliant brand.
Treliant (www.treliant.com) is an advisory and consulting firm that has enjoyed strong organic growth since its founding in 2005.
With the acquisition of Vox, Treliant expanded its European footprint and capital markets consulting capabilities to better serve its client base and position it as an essential partner to financial institutions worldwide.
Treliant says it is committed to maintaining its European headquarters in Belfast and accelerating growth in the city.
The north's main universities will be its primary source for recruiting talent for the UK market. It will also expand its presence in Lodz, Poland, as a center for its data practice.
The combination will enable the capital markets business to expand its regulatory consulting, data, and digital transformation offering to the broader US banking sector. It will also build upon its near-shoring capabilities with the expansion of its service delivery centres model into North America.
Following the acquisition, Treliant expanded its global financial crimes compliance practice in the UK and Europe.
This practice delivers anti-money laundering, sanctions compliance, anti-bribery, corruption and fraud, and digital asset consulting services, both on client site and from its European Service Delivery Centres.
Former Vox CEO and now chief executive of the capital markets business Terry Robinson said: “Bringing our great companies together makes us a much stronger global competitor, better positioned for growth.
“It allows us to attract global banking institutions that rely on our expertise and the right talent to help them execute. We’re delighted to now be operating as Treliant.”
