Today we announce our expansion with the acquisition of MCE, a leading communications consultancy headquartered in Belfast, with a recently opened office in Dublin.
This significant move solidifies our commitment to providing exceptional services to clients operating in both the UK and EU markets, marking a pivotal step in their expansion.
The acquisition positions us on both sides of the border in Ireland’s thriving market, enhancing its ability to serve clients with international interests.
The integration of MCE, who specialises in public affairs, corporate affairs and planning communications significantly broadens our geographic reach, deepens service offerings, and strengthens its position as a leading player in the UK corporate communications landscape.
Carl Daruvalla, CEO at Cavendish, said:
“This acquisition reaffirms our dedication, as outlined during our Management Buyout (MBO), to accelerate our evolution into a consultancy ready to service clients in an increasingly global, social, and hybrid world.
“Our expanded presence enables us to advise on the changing political landscapes in Belfast and Dublin, support growth opportunities in Northern Ireland’s thriving economy, and offer comprehensive all-Ireland services to reflect the growth in cross-border infrastructure and investment.
“As we bring MCE into Cavendish, we are poised to unlock new opportunities, deepen our impact, and reinforce our position as the go-to partner for strategic communications across the UK, EU and Ireland markets.”
Paul McErlean, Managing Director at MCE, said:
“Joining forces with Cavendish marks an exciting chapter for us. We are thrilled about the opportunities this collaboration brings, allowing us to contribute our unique strengths to a wider audience and offering clients enhanced services and resources.
“With this acquisition, the combined expertise of the two teams, complemented by strategic insight, technology, and creativity, will empower our clients to navigate change and achieve impactful results in an increasingly challenging world.
“As we embark on this journey, we look forward to continuing to set new standards in the industry and navigating the evolving communications landscape with innovation and excellence.”
