Alchemy Technology Services, an insurance technology company based in Derry, has expanded with the acquisition of London-based management consultancy r10 Consulting. The acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, follows a five year working relationship between the companies.
Alchemy said that the acquisition would open up the London and wider insurance market and enable it to offer a broader range of services to existing and future clients, with the company embarking on the next stage of its growth.

John Harkin, Alchemy’s CEO said that the deal delivered a number of complimentary benefits for the firm and called r10 “a key player in the London market”.
Harkin continued: “This strategic decision reinforces Alchemy's presence in the London Market and bolsters our ability to offer comprehensive services to our clients. With our shared synergies and history of collaboration, this acquisition perfectly aligns with our mission to provide exceptional value to our clients."
