UK-based MSP, de Poel Group, announced that it is rebranding following its acquisition by Geometric Results, or GRI, earlier this year.

The de Poel Group is rebranding to GRI, publicly making the company and its employees all a part of the GRI family.

GRI is a US-based global independent extended workforce solution provider. GRI is a portfolio company of Bain Capital Private Equity.

Along with the name change for the de Poel Group, all corporate branding will also be modified.

“We're thrilled to expand our staff and scope of services as a result of this acquisition.  There is no question that adding the former de Poel entity to our ranks will result in many positives, allowing us to expand our presence in the UK and globally," Art Knapp, GRI CEO, said.

Andrew Preston, formerly de Poel's CEO and now GRI's CEO in the UK as well as COO of EMEA/APAC, will continue to lead the experienced management team.

De Poel’s existing client base consists of over 145 private- and public-sector clients, with its vendor-neutral MSP programs supported by its own technology platform. 

"By becoming part of GRI, we have far greater opportunities to enhance our ability to serve our existing clients and expand into new areas,” Preston said.  “We know our new name will soon be the UK's most-recognised, built on the solid track records GRI and de Poel have worked so hard to secure.”

GRI's existing global clients, with programs in more than 50 countries, will see no changes to their services.

"The services and solutions offered by de Poel allow GRI to expand our offerings into new verticals and countries," Knapp said.  "The immediate and long-term benefits will ultimately make the growing GRI entity an even more vital player in the non-employee labor marketplace.”

De Poel was founded in 2001 and is based in Cheshire, UK.
