CubeMatch expands UK footprint with DVCP deal

An international consultancy has strengthened its market position through an acquisition.

CubeMatch, a global change and transformation consultancy for the financial services sector, has secured a majority stake in UK-based professional services firm DVCP.

The move forms part of a phased acquisition expected to complete by 2026.

CubeMatch, headquartered in Dublin, has a growing footprint in London, Amsterdam, Singapore, India and Germany, with plans to expand into the Midlands and Scotland.

The deal marks CubeMatch’s second UK acquisition, having bought the London firm Bishopsgate Financial in 2021, and continues its rapid expansion following its purchase of German consultancy BGK earlier this year. 

Tom Melville, CubeMatch chief executive, said: “Our partnership with DVCP marks a significant step forward in our UK growth strategy. 

“By bringing together DVCP’s respected team of specialists and our own expertise, we are uniquely positioned to help clients tackle the most complex technology and regulatory challenges in financial services. 

“We have a strong balance sheet and are well positioned to deliver on our strategy, delivering agile, expert-led transformation and innovation to clients globally, while continuing to seek additional acquisitions throughout this year.”

DVCP was founded in 2020 by Mhairi Kennedy and Tom Saunders, later joined by transformation specialist David Campbell. 

The firm is best known for managing Masthaven Bank’s solvent withdrawal from the UK market in 2023, as well as more recently delivering programme assurance for major building societies and banking institutions. 

Tom, chief executive and co-founder, added: “Culturally and operationally, CubeMatch is an ideal partner for DVCP. 

“Our shared values, collaborative approach and commitment to delivering great client service make this a natural fit.”
