Equiniti Group plc ("Equiniti"), the multinational specialist technology outsourcer, is delighted to announce the completion of the acquisition of Aquila Group Holdings Limited ("Aquila") from AquilaHeywood Limited on 31st October 2018. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.

Ric Williams, co-CEO of EQPaymaster, said:

"We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Aquila, a leading provider of software and technology solutions. Aquila will enhance EQPaymaster's technology and services to the insurance market and broader financial services space, alongside our existing capability. I look forward to offering an enhanced combination of technology and services to our new and existing clients and building upon Aquila's investment in the proprietary 'Administrator' platform."
