George & Bell Consulting (“George & Bell”) and Bilsland Griffith Benefit Administrators (“Bilsland Griffith”) are pleased to announce we are merging and will be known as Convyta Partners LP.
The principals of George & Bell and Bilsland Griffith have known each other and worked together for over 25 years. We serve similar clients and provide complementary services – consulting and third-party administration:
- Bilsland Griffith provides administration services to multi-employer pension and benefit plans and was established in 2010; it currently employs over 40 team members and operates out of its Burnaby office.
- George & Bell is a full-service retirement, benefit, and investment consulting firm established in 2012 with a team of almost 50 operating out of its Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto offices.
We fit well together. Our combination and ownership structure will allow us to be wholly aligned with our clients and continue to effectively serve them, while breaking down barriers that often exist between consulting and administration for those clients that use us for these services. The merger between our two firms makes sense for us, our team, and our clients. Together, we are committed to a stable and promising future for our clients and their plan members.
The transaction close is expected at the end of September. In the meantime, George & Bell and Bilsland Griffith are already moving to combine operations as Convyta Partners LP.
