WSP ACQUIRES SPECIALIST HEALTHCARE AND LIFE SCIENCES CONSULTING FIRM LEXICA

WSP Global Inc. has acquired Lexica, a United Kingdom-based consulting firm specializing in health care and life sciences.

Lexica adds 90 U.K.-based experts to WSP's planning, property and advisory business in the region, forming a new health care and life sciences advisory team.

The firm focuses on health care strategy and planning, property consulting services, cost management, project and program management, life sciences strategy, digital advisory and transformation, and net zero consulting services.

The addition of Lexica supports WSP's growth aspirations for advisory services over the next three years, a goal set out in its 2025-to-2027 global strategic action plan. This transaction expands WSP's well-established presence in the health care sector and follows WSP's recent appointment as a consortium partner to the joint venture on the NHS's new hospitals program (NHP).

Alexandre L'Heureux, president and chief executive officer of WSP, said: "The acquisition of Lexica directly supports our strategic objective of strengthening our advisory capabilities and solidifying our leadership in the health care and life sciences sectors. WSP will continue to grow with purpose, expanding our footprint in key regions, strengthening our partnerships and positioning our combined team for deeper impact in high-value end markets."

Paul Reilly, president and managing director, WSP, in the U.K. and Ireland, said: "The acquisition of Lexica adds significant strength to our expanding U.K. advisory business. By combining deep sector expertise with a client-first mindset, we are scaling our capabilities to deliver smarter, more integrated solutions. I am excited to welcome our new colleagues and look forward to the opportunities we will create together, united by a shared vision for the future."
