The announcement was made on February 6, 2026, marking a significant step for Highberg as it seeks to strengthen its consulting capabilities. Although the financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, the acquisition is expected to create new opportunities for synergy and innovation.

Consultday, founded to provide expert consulting services, will now integrate its offerings into Highberg’s existing operations. Pim van den Brule, founder of Consultday, stated, “This step ensures continuity for Consultday while adding valuable expertise to Highberg’s existing domains. By bringing our specialized knowledge together and responding proactively to changes in the consulting market, new opportunities for synergy and innovation emerge.”

By integrating Consultday’s services into Highberg, we can respond more effectively to market developments, deepen collaboration across domains, and create more room for consultants to grow and develop.”

The acquisition aligns with current trends in the consulting industry, where firms are increasingly seeking to consolidate expertise and expand service offerings to remain competitive. Highberg’s move is expected to enhance its market position by consolidating its expertise and potentially entering new regional markets where Consultday has a presence.

In terms of operational synergies, the integration is anticipated to yield cross-selling opportunities between Highberg and Consultday’s client bases, as well as enhanced service offerings that could lead to increased client retention. Additionally, the merger may result in reduced overhead through shared resources and streamlined operations.

Looking ahead, Highberg will focus on integrating Consultday’s services while addressing potential challenges such as cultural integration and the retention of key talent. The combined entity aims to leverage its enhanced capabilities to develop innovative consulting solutions and respond effectively to market demands.

As the consulting landscape continues to evolve, this acquisition positions Highberg to capitalize on new opportunities and deliver greater value to its clients.
