NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Acquisition–H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”), a leading global alternative investment firm with $64 billion of capital under management, is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, Oxford Global Resources (“Oxford” or the “Company”), a provider of specialty staffing and consulting services in the United States and Europe, has acquired Linksap Europe Limited (“Linksap”). The acquisition serves as a strategic expansion of Oxford’s existing high-end SAP® offerings into targeted European markets and customer channels.


Linksap is a premium staffing solutions firm that provides highly skilled consultants specializing in the SAP® software ecosystem to clients in more than 40 countries. With an exclusive focus on SAP®, Linksap is the partner of choice to a broad base of clients across Europe and North America. Linksap is a complementary addition to Oxford’s existing Technology practice, further expanding the Company’s high-growth SAP® solutions in Europe. Linksap’s Co-Founders, Rupert Bassi and Alistair Coker, as well as the broader Linksap team, have joined Oxford and will continue to lead Linksap moving forward.

“We are highly impressed with Linksap’s premium expertise, quality service offering, and geographic reach,” commented Rob McGuckin, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford. “Our partnership with Linksap will bolster Oxford’s SAP® capabilities in Europe and add new clients that can benefit from Oxford’s broad service offering across technology platforms.”

Rupert Bassi, Co-Founder of Linksap, expressed his excitement for the combination. “We are thrilled to partner with Oxford. We look forward to bringing our SAP® platform expertise, strong customer relationships, and highly skilled network of specialists to Oxford.” Alistair Coker, Co-Founder of Linksap, also voiced his enthusiasm for the combination, “Through this partnership, Oxford and Linksap will leverage our combined strengths to offer additional services and value to our clients and employees.”

“Linksap is a strong addition to the Oxford business, adding specialized expertise in the attractive SAP® market, which is benefitting from the favorable tailwinds of ongoing cloud migration,” commented Matt Lozow, Managing Director at H.I.G. “We are excited to continue to support Oxford’s management team in investing in high-growth platforms and geographies.”

Linksap is the second acquisition that Oxford has completed since H.I.G. acquired the Company in August 2021. Oxford continues to actively pursue additional acquisition opportunities, which are a core pillar of the Company’s long-term growth strategy.
