I am responsible for TSS' acquisition activity in the United Kingdom and Ireland. At Total Specific Solutions (“TSS”), we believe that acquiring businesses is about more than just buying companies. It is about investing in people and doing what it takes to help manage and grow businesses for life. To accomplish this, we operate a decentralised model, pushing decision-making down to the front lines where the people who know the industry best can do what is right for clients. This is why TSS has a buy-and-hold-forever strategy, and why we challenge our employees in all our businesses to try and do new things every day.
