Gemserv has been acquired by Talan

Energy Consortium has sold purpose-driven professional services firm Gemserv to Talan, an international technology-led consulting group. The acquisition marks a significant moment in Gemserv’s journey to become the go-to advisory firm in the movement towards energy and digital transition.

Founded in 2002 by the UK’s leading energy suppliers and electricity network companies, Gemserv was set up to manage and facilitate the opening of the electricity market to competition. More recently, management has diversified both the service offering and industry verticals to tackle today’s social and environmental challenges.

Talan is an international technology-led consulting group. The deal will double the size of Talan’s UK operations and provide Gemserv with the increased scale and capabilities required to accelerate growth.

Energy Consortium is a consortium of the UK’s leading energy suppliers and electricity network companies.

Oaklins Cavendish, based in the UK, acted as sell-side advisor in this transaction.
