Harnessing the Group’s expertise in operational transformation and the management of supply chains, the intention is to enable ACCA’s management team to achieve further growth as they address new markets, expand its panel and reach a wider audience.

At handl Group we have a strong demonstrable legacy helping brands with accelerating growth and driving quality through investment in operational transformation, so this is an exciting time for us all.”

ACCA will remain an autonomous business unit within handl Group and General Manager, Mark Webb, will continue to spearhead the organisation, heading up the assessment and reporting service delivery with his team of Independent Social Workers.

Mark Webb, Founder at ACCA, said: “This is an exciting time for Advanced Child Care Assessments Limited and our panel of experts. We provide excellence in the work that we do and strive for the very best possible outcome in every case, handl Group aligns entirely with our beliefs, goals and aspirations.
