Catalyst CEO Andrew Middleton comments “we continue to grow strongly in pursuit of our ambition to be the pre-eminent, independent financial services consultancy in Europe, providing specialism at scale in business, technology and regulatory change. We now offer a broad range of skills and competencies from a resource pool approaching 150 people. Our aim is to continue to grow the scope and scale of our resources and deliver effective change and lasting benefits across the full footprint of our multi-national clients.”

Catalyst Managing Director Stephen Loosley adds “the opening of our new nearshore hub is an important component of our goal to serve all European financial centres in larger, specialist teams and to continue to broaden the skills available to our clients on competitive terms. Working with Invest Lithuania, we have been able to hire high quality staff from a pool of impressive resources to deliver additional value to our international client base. This is a strong model we intend to roll out further and we look further to announcing further extensions to our reach and capability in the near future.”
