URM Consulting Services (URM), one of the UK’s leading cyber and information security specialists, has officially joined CP.
We’ve supercharged our digital offering with the acquisition of URM Consulting Services, a leading UK cyber security firm. This news marks our 17th acquisition since early 2023. It’s the fifth deal we’ve completed since partnering with New York-based Lee Equity Partners. And it’s another major step in our bold mission to build the UK and Ireland’s most progressive professional services group.
WHY URM? WHY NOW?
As cyber threats surge and data protection becomes mission-critical, our clients need more than advice.
They need assurance, agility, and a team that’s ahead of the curve – not chasing it.
Over the past 20 years, URM has become renowned for their deep expertise in information and cyber security, data protection, business continuity and risk management.
The 70-strong team adds market-leading capability and a razor-sharp focus on keeping ahead of a fast-changing threat landscape.
Together, we’re reshaping how the mid-market tackles security, compliance and assurance. The move also accelerates CP Digital’s journey to becoming the UK’s leading mid-market digital consultancy – combining Salesforce, NetSuite, Data & Analytics, C-Suite Tech Advisory, and Cyber & Information Security in a single, scalable digital powerhouse.
Lisa Dargan, CEO, URM Consulting Services, said:
“I’m thrilled to be joining forces with such an ambitious firm as Cooper Parry, which through its bold vision is transforming the professional services arena. For 20 years, URM has built an outstanding reputation for providing high quality, tailored consultancy and training services. We now have the unique chance to lead the next generation of end-to-end assurance providers. Acting as the cyber security cornerstone within the CP group, we’ll be able to offer existing and future clients truly integrated assurance services across all areas of business risk and further strengthen and develop our service offering”
Ade Cheatham, CEO, Cooper Parry, added:
“URM is a class act. Lisa and her brilliant team have built something special – with original thinking, deep relationships, and real talent. Their agility in a fast-moving space sets them apart. With Digital consulting already a £20m+ business within CP, this deal adds even more firepower, depth, and client value to the group.”
