PwC completes acquisition of Olivehorse Consulting Services Ltd

PwC is delighted to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Olivehorse Consulting Services Ltd, a leading consultancy specialising in supply chain management.  

Founded in 2012, Coventry-based Olivehorse provides end-to-end supply chain planning and management solutions to clients across SAP, Anaplan and Kinaxis technologies. The consultancy is one of very few independents with SAP Gold Partner and supply chain management recognised expertise accreditations. 

PwC’s acquisition of Olivehorse will strengthen its already outstanding and FT Gold medal ranked supply chain capability, delivering even better value to our clients. Demand for supply chain expertise has increased rapidly during the pandemic and will continue to be a key area of need for many clients. Alongside its market offerings around S4Hana, finance transformation and Cloud, PwC believes that its improved supply chain management offering will further enhance what it can bring to clients. 

Fred Akuffo, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Olivehorse said: 

“I am delighted to complete this deal and, along with all of Olivehorse, become part of PwC, a global network with talented people and resources, which will help us to bring greater value to our clients.  We are excited and energised by the prospect of building a new future for our people, for PwC and for all of our clients.  I am deeply proud of all of the work Olivehorse delivered and see this as the next phase in our journey.” 

Alistair Kett, Consulting Supply Chain and Operations Leader at PwC, said:

“I am really pleased to announce that as of today, Olivehorse and PwC are one, combining our amazing people, capabilities and passion for supply chain consulting.  We know that this is a market which is hugely important to our clients and to the people they serve and we are proud to have enhanced the value that we can bring.  As the world recovers from the global pandemic we know that issues of supply, scarcity and disruption will require new, innovative and technology driven solutions. Our team is very well positioned to help our clients solve these challenges.
