Talent strategy consultancy strikes chemistry with investment group

‘Disruptive’ HR consultancy The Chemistry Group has received investment to help achieve its growth ambitions.

The London-based talent strategy consultancy will now be supported by BGF, a minority equity investor, to grow its consulting capabilities, enhancing the science team and continue the development of its technology platform.

The company supports business leaders across a variety of industries to increase the value of their companies by improving the performance of its teams.

Founded in 2003 by CEO Roger Philby, The Chemistry Group will now see Volker Beckers, chair of BGF-backed Cornwall Insight, appointed as non-executive chair following an introduction from BGF’s Talent Network, the firm’s pool of non-executive directors.

Roger Philby said: “Across the market, we’ve seen that frustration often builds over the task of creating a workforce that can execute and drive commercial vision at the pace that businesses want. The Chemistry Group supports our clients get the right people in the right roles to really drive business strategy.

“We’re excited to welcome BGF to TCG as our long-term investment partner, and Volker as Chair of our board. Both understand our vision for the business and their support as we enter this next stage of our journey will be invaluable.”

Rahul Satsangi, an investor at BGF, said: “With a differentiated offering based on data and behavioural science, an impressive client base, and a dedicated and ambitious team, The Chemistry Group is leading the way in supporting organisations to better understand what this top-quality talent looks like.

“We’re looking forward to supporting their continued growth in the UK and beyond.”
