The remaining 25 per cent stake will be acquired in 2020 dependant on the financial performance of Morar in 2019 and 2020.

Tim Dyson, CEO of Next 15 commented: “In the last few years Morar has invested in the development of its own technology platform. Morar's approach of combining high level consulting and technology fits with our digital strategy and extends our commitment to the insight and analytics area of marketing."

Roger Perowne, CEO of Morar, said: “We've been looking for an entrepreneurial partner to help us take Morar forward and in Next 15 have found the people, brands and strategy that fit our ambitions perfectly."
