is the leading provider of comprehensive HR administration services in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The acquisition of HCM Gilde GmbH notably
reinforces its capabilities in project management and process consulting as
a foundation for long-term outsourcing contracts. For AURELIUS, the move

deep market knowledge and excellent networks, while the company itself
concentrates primarily on HR process optimization, the realization of
complex HR projects and HR outsourcing consulting. Starting October 1,

will assist Nils Haase in running fidelis HR. Stefanie Lommel, co-founder
of HCM Gilde GmbH, will remain on the management team at HCM Gilde. In
addition, she will take over as head of the Business Development and
Process Consulting unit at fidelis HR.
The market for personnel services has potential for strong growth. An
accelerating trend for outsourcing complex HR processes can be observed
across the globe, with more efficient structures and lower costs
representing the key value drivers in this context. 'With the acquisition
of HCM Gilde, we have taken a further major step in our growth strategy in
the market for personnel services,' comments Donatus Albrecht, the man on
the AURELIUS Executive Board responsible for M&A activities. 'We intend to
continue actively developing our portfolio companies by means of add-on
acquisitions going forward. Above and beyond the traditional AURELIUS
approach, we're also interested in well-positioned, sustainably profitable
companies'
Nils Haase, managing director of fidelis HR GmbH, adds: 'Jörg John is an
excellent HR manager heading a strong team of experienced experts. For more
than 25 years now, he has been successfully running HR projects and he will
no doubt quickly make his mark in his new areas of responsibility. This
step helps us to sustainably strengthen our core competencies in the field
of process consulting and the management of major, long-term HR outsourcing
projects, which are increasingly shaping our activities.'
