Efex has acquired WorldMark Corporate Consulting, a Geelong-based firm, further cementing its position as an IT regional service provider.
Founded by Adam Galle in 1997, WorldMark is known for its cloud consulting, infrastructure services and understanding of medical businesses’ regulatory and compliance requirements.
The acquisition marks efex’s sixth acquisition of a Victorian regional business over the past five years. It will expand its client base by over 10 per cent in the state, adding 200 new clients.
Efex chief executive officer Nick Sheehan said the acquisition is important to the company’s broader strategy of growing organically and through targeted acquisitions.
“Victoria, and specifically Geelong, is a key growth area for us, and we see immense value in WorldMark, a company that shares our commitment to delivering tailored IT solutions to regional businesses,” he said.
The acquisition will also bring an experienced team with deep knowledge across multiple sectors, particularly in medical services and specialist medical consulting.
Under the agreement, WorldMark will continue to operate under its own brand. Its current leadership team, led by Adam Galle and Paul Chapman, will remain in place to ensure a smooth transition and business continuity.
WorldMark will also benefit from access to efex’s suite of IT services, including its newly launched managed cyber solutions designed for small- to medium enterprises.
Sheehan added that this acquisition aligns seamlessly with its growth strategy for 2024.
“We continue to strengthen our presence across Victoria and deliver high-quality IT solutions to more regional businesses,” he said.
“We’re excited to welcome Adam, Paul, and the entire WorldMark team into the efex family, as they have built a stellar reputation for IT consulting excellence in Geelong and beyond.”
WorldMark founder Adam Galle said clients can expect the same level of exceptional service and support.
“Partnering with efex enables us to provide expanded solutions to our clients, especially through access to cutting-edge managed services,” he said.
