Powering the Next Generation of Pension Services: Intellica Ltd Acquires Cosan Consulting.
Intellica Ltd, a leading technology and data consultancy in the pensions sector, today announced that they have acquired Cosan Consulting, uniting two independent firms with complementary strengths and a shared ambition to transform how pensions services are delivered.
The acquisition brings together Intellica’s cutting-edge data and platform solutions with Cosan’s reputation for strategic consulting excellence. By joining forces, the two firms will deliver smarter, faster, and more integrated solutions to clients across the pensions industry.
“This isn’t just about bringing two businesses together - it’s about reshaping how our industry delivers value,” said Brendan Doherty, CEO of Intellica. “By combining Intellica’s strength in data, digital tools, and implementation with Cosan’s deep expertise in strategic pensions consulting, we’re creating a proposition that’s broader, faster, and more insightful.
Together, we’re addressing some of the biggest challenges pension schemes face - from administration transitions and provider reviews to journey planning and buyout and doing it with smarter technology and sharper thinking. Cosan’s team shares our culture of independence, ambition, and client-first thinking, making this a truly aligned partnership that sets us up for long-term success.”
The combined organisation will retain its independent ethos, focusing on client-first delivery while benefiting from:
• Smarter, end-to-end consulting and tech solutions
• Increased ability to scale and respond to client demand
• Improved implementation timelines through shared infrastructure
• Greater financial stability and opportunity for long-term innovation
Importantly, Cosan’s leadership team - including Philip Dickinson, Ian Bloxham, Emma Page and Mark Webster will remain in place and continue to lead their people and projects as part of the combined group. Clients will experience no disruption to service, and all existing relationships and in-flight projects will continue as planned.
“This acquisition allows us to do more of what we’re great at,” said Philip Dickinson, CoFounder of Cosan Consulting. “We’ve built a team we’re proud of, and joining Intellica means access to the infrastructure and investment that helps us scale without compromising on independence, culture, or the high standards our clients expect.”
Both firms share a commitment to high-quality delivery, collaborative culture, and putting people first - values that will underpin the integration journey over the coming months. The two businesses will retain their existing operating models, while gradually increasing collaboration on client work, shared resources, and innovation projects.
