ACCURATE BACKGROUND ACQUIRES VERO SCREENING, THE UK’S LARGEST INDEPENDENT
EMPLOYMENT SCREENING PROVIDER




STRATEGIC ACQUISITION ACCELERATES ACCURATE’S GLOBAL EXPANSION STRATEGY AND
BROADENS VERTICAL EXPERTISE IN REGULATED MARKETS

IRVINE, Calif. and BRIGHTON, UK, July 19, 2022 – Accurate Background, the
largest privately held provider of compliant background checks, drug and health
screening, and monitoring solutions, today announced it signed and closed the
acquisition of Vero Screening Ltd., the UK’s largest independent employment
screening provider. The acquisition continues Accurate’s global expansion
strategy, deepens its EMEA market footprint, and expands its portfolio of
compliance-driven and service-focused employment screening solutions. Vero will
continue to operate under its own brand led by Rupert Emson, co-founder and CEO.
Emson will join Accurate’s executive leadership team, reporting to CEO Tim Dowd.

“We are committed to leading the industry in global employment screening by
continuing to provide exceptional candidate and client experience, compliance
expertise and technological innovation,” said Tim Dowd, CEO of Accurate. “With
the addition of Vero Screening, Accurate continues our global expansion to meet
the needs of global multinational organizations as they quickly onboard talent
and manage risk with industry-leading screening and monitoring services.”

The acquisition unifies two employment screening market leaders, bringing
together tenured, highly experienced talent, customer-driven cultures,
compliance expertise, and advanced technological innovations. Accurate gains a
new EMEA headquarters in Brighton, UK, where the Vero team will continue to
serve its strong client base, while offering support to a growing roster of
multinational clients. Vero’s products and services complement Accurate’s
portfolio of employment screening and monitoring solutions, and bring deep
vertical expertise in the legal, financial, and professional services sectors,
and a robust global compliance practice.

“In an industry where candidate and client experience are paramount, Accurate
and Vero are aligned with a focus on service excellence and a safer hiring
process from start to finish,” said Rupert Emson, CEO of Vero. “Our customers
and employees will benefit greatly from the partnership with Accurate, which
shares our customer-first philosophy and believes in empowering its employees.
Today marks a new chapter for our business and our team, and we look forward to
joining the Accurate family, to advance the screening experience and expand our
global footprint in highly regulated, compliance-driven vertical markets.”

Dowd added, “As we evaluated opportunities to grow our business, it was vital
that we chose a company that shares our vision and values, and who is committed
to delivering exceptional service for both clients and candidates throughout the
screening process. I look forward to working with Rupert and the extremely
talented team at Vero to continue supporting their clients as we scale our
business globally.”

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Latham & Watkins LLP
served as legal advisor to Accurate and finnCap Cavendish served as financial
advisor to Vero, and Freeths LLP, its legal advisor.
