Aberdeen-based HR consultancy Align People HR has announced a strategic partnership with Nuvo Scotland , which has acquired a majority shareholding in the business. The move will see Align People HR rebrand as Nuvo HR, marking an exciting new chapter of growth and expanded services for clients across the North east of Scotland and further afield.
The partnership also brings a direct boost to the North east economy, with the creation of new jobs and further recruitment planned. Vacancies are currently being advertised, underlining the firm’s commitment to invest locally and build capacity for future growth.
This strategic step strengthens Align People HR’s ability to support clients with a broader range of business services . The new firm will continue to expand its offering, enhance client engagement, and invest in new ways of delivering value to businesses in the region. While financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, the acquisition represents a significant investment in the future of the business and its clients.
Alison Paton, Managing Director of Align People HR, commented:
“This is a very exciting development as we continue to expand our service offering and strengthen our capabilities to deliver HR consultancy. We have reached a point where our strong local presence and growing client base provided the perfect platform to scale further. Partnering strategically allows us to accelerate our growth plans, strengthen our service offering, and meet increasing client demand with even greater resources and expertise.”
She added, “The choice of Nuvo Scotland ltd was a natural fit. We share the same values and complementary strengths, with both businesses committed to client service, local support, and a strong focus on our people.”
Ross Murray, Nuvo Scotland, Managing Director, said:
In Align People HR we have found a firm that shares our values and commitment to providing the highest standards to clients and we’re excited to work with the wider team. We are particularly looking forward to the opportunities this presents for our clients, who will benefit from broader HR resources .
Align People HR will transition to Nuvo HR in the coming months. A transition period is currently underway to ensure continuity for clients, while aligning the brand fully with the Nuvo group. Clients will continue to receive the same standards of service they have been used to from both companies, and over time they will benefit from a more comprehensive, integrated offering delivered by a growing team of experts.
