Leeuwendaal acquires organisation development firm Lagerweij
Utrecht-based consultancy Lagerweij has joined Leeuwendaal, a portfolio company of Bolster Investment Partners. This strategic acquisition expands Leeuwendaal’s expertise and strengthens its position as a leading organisation advisory firm. This follows the recent addition of Hiemstra & De Vries to the Leeuwendaal Alliance, of which Lagerweij now also becomes a part.
Combining expertise to strengthen market position
Lagerweij has over 30 years of experience in organisation development and enjoys a strong reputation across both public and private sectors. Its consultants specialise in areas such as culture and leadership development, assessments, and organisational design.
By joining the Leeuwendaal Alliance, Lagerweij adds to the collective capabilities and opens up access to new markets. In a rapidly evolving advisory landscape, where quality, digital innovation, and societal impact are paramount, scale offers strategic advantage.
Supported by Bolster Investment Partners
Lagerweij’s integration aligns with Leeuwendaal’s growth strategy, initiated in November 2024 through the strategic partnership with Bolster Investment Partners. As a long-term investor, Bolster offers more than financial backing, providing strategic and operational support with a focus on sustainable value creation and future-proof collaboration.
“With the addition of Lagerweij, we welcome a highly skilled and committed team to our Leeuwendaal Alliance. This reinforces our market position and enables us to deliver even greater value to our clients through meaningful, forward-looking projects.”
Edward Hermans, Leeuwendaal
“Joining Leeuwendaal provides a much stronger foundation for the future. We can now offer greater continuity, impact, and specialised expertise, allowing us to stay ahead and exceed expectations.”
Paul Hoogstraten, Lagerweij
“Lagerweij further strengthens Leeuwendaal’s standing as the leading advisory firm focused on people and organisations. Together with Hiemstra & De Vries, this alliance is well-positioned for continued growth and lasting societal impact.”
