Lumera, a European insurtech company focused on the digital transformation of the Life and Pensions sector, announced an agreement to acquire Acuity, a UK-based consultancy specialising in complex pensions and workforce reform programmes for public sector pension schemes. The transaction strengthens Lumera’s presence in the UK market and expands access to major public sector clients, including schemes linked to the NHS, the Civil Service, and central government departments.
“Joining forces with Acuity adds major new clients and capabilities, in line with our strategy to strengthen our foothold in strategically important sectors in key markets,” says Jonas Alfredson, CEO, Lumera Group. “Combining their proven expertise across health, central government and other public sector bodies, with our technology prowess will create new opportunities for further growth in the UK, enhance our client offering, help attract more clients, while reinforcing our commitment to being a trusted advisor to some of the biggest Life and Pensions providers across Europe. I am delighted to welcome their experienced and dedicated team to our business.”
Acuity delivers advisory services across central government and the wider public sector, combining pensions expertise with behavioural insight to support change programmes, communications strategies, and large-scale reform initiatives for pension schemes and members.
“We are delighted to become part of Lumera,” says Pippa Campbell, Director of Programmes, Acuity. “Our shared values of simplifying complexity and customer-first thinking in the complex world of pensions make Lumera the perfect partner for our consultancy team. We’re excited to bring our experience of programme management and behavioural insight to Lumera’s portfolio and look forward to helping shape the future of pensions advisory and pensions administration.”
