ARINSO International (Euronext Brussels: ARIN), a leading provider of HR Technology Consulting & Outsourcing Services, announces the acquisition of Lansdowne, a UK based developer and provider of volume recruitment services, processes and technologies.
The acquisition of Lansdowne is a highly value-added extension of ARINSO's HR Outsourcing (HRO) offering, fundamentally strengthening its capacities in the field of outsourced recruitment.
Founded in 1990, Lansdowne provides innovative recruitment solutions and services, including Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and call centre technology to leading blue chip organisations in the United Kingdom. In 2005, revenues exceeded EUR 7 million.
Lansdowne employs over 100 staff and services organisations such as Norwich Union and Lloyds TSB with a comprehensive range of recruitment services.

Rudy Vandenberghe, Executive Director UK and Central Europe at ARINSO International says, "ARINSO typically delivers outsourcing solutions in HR areas of Workforce Administration and Payroll. The purchase of Lansdowne will support ARINSO in its goal to expand our services offering to other strategic HR Business Process Outsourcing (HR BPO) areas through a programme of organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and partnerships. This deal is proof of our commitment to provide excellence in all areas of HR Service Delivery."
Keith Thomas, Managing Director at Lansdowne said, "I am delighted to see the joining together of these two great specialists in HR services delivery.
