Adapa Advisory in Africa has entered into a joint venture with HornbyChapman to focus on senior-level recruitment to financial services companies.
The venture will initially focus on South Africa and will be used as a base for demand in other markets in the region.
The announcement comes shortly after Adapa Advisory
launched in the UK and South Africa to provide strategic insights and pragmatic advice for financial institutions.
Adapa Advisory’s chief executive, Mark Kerns, explained that the joint venture will leverage Adapa Advisory’s background in post trade and securities services in Africa with that of HornbyChapman’s expertise in executive recruitment.
He said: “We bring many years of in-country knowledge, connections and profile and HornbyChapman complements that with a global reputation and market knowledge.”
“The continued developmental growth in Africa is driving demand for skilled resources in the region and HornbyChapman in partnership with Adapa Advisory creates an insightful and relevant provider in the market,” Kerns added.
Paul Chapman, co-founder and managing director of HornbyChapman, commented: “I have known Mark Kerns and the team for many years and believe combining our forces makes for a highly compelling proposition. We very much look forward to working together for the benefit of our mutual clients, wherever in Africa they may be based.”
HornbyChapman is a recruitment firm focused on senior permanent and contract and interim hiring in the post-trade world covering banks, asset managers, fintech firms and infrastructure providers.
Meanwhile, Adapa Advisory provides insight and pragmatic advice to help financial institutions enhance their business performance in the post-trade and securities services arena.
