Mr Mooney said bringing both teams together is “a natural next step”.

“It has been a privilege to work alongside the Davis Pier team in delivering solutions for our shared clients that create tangible social impact for citizens,” he said.

“We are excited by the opportunities this creates for our clients, for our new and existing colleagues, and for our business in Canada.”

Davis Pier chief, Mike Davis, said he was proud of the impact the company has had in Canada over the years.

“With technology now a fundamental part of society, combining our teams brings proven global approaches and local expertise to modernise and future-proof public services for residents in Canada,” he added.

“Together, we can amplify our impact and accelerate the growth of our combined team.”
