The combined firm which will continue under the ICA flag will represent both companies' heritage as independent advisers to companies exploring new investment opportunities locally and around the globe. The strategic advice provided by the firm's expert professionals will be further augmented by two online software packages for location selection and incentives advisory data: LocationSelector.com and ICAincentives.com. The merger into one global firm, ICA, will be effective from January 1, 2013.
Dr. Douglas van den Berghe, Managing Director of ICA will hold the position of Chief Executive Officer of the combined entity: "This merger reflects our strong commitment to clients that we can provide global services in combination with local expertise and insights." The team of the CWS Group is highly professional with a broad range of capabilities. We look forward to servicing our clients around the world with our new Transatlantic team of professionals.
Mr. Christopher Steele, President of CWS will be the Chief Operating Officer of the combined entity and also President of ICA North America: "Location decisions transcend borders, and our clients need to know that we are able to help them whether the decision is around the block or halfway around the world. In ICA, we have come together with a team of professionals who share our client-centered approach and who will help us provide the same world-class services. We are truly excited to bring these two teams together."
Both Mr. Steele and Dr. van den Berghe have over twenty years of experience in location consulting, and each headed Ernst & Young's Location Advisory Service practice in their respective regions.
