What Acuity Business Solutions does

Acuity Business Solutions is a UK-based consultancy firm specialising in complex pensions administration and workforce reforms for UK public sector pension schemes. The firm's primary segment is the public sector pension vertical, where it addresses the pain points of navigating complex regulatory requirements and implementing workforce reform programmes. Acuity's value proposition is built on functional expertise in pensions and workforce reform rather than on proprietary technology platforms, and its go-to-market is vertical-focused with no publicly disclosed pricing model or distribution channels. As of 18 December 2025, Lumera — a European insurtech company focused on the digital transformation of the Life and Pensions industry — entered into an agreement to acquire Acuity. The acquisition is intended to expand Lumera's UK footprint and add consultancy expertise in the Life and Pensions market; it positions Acuity as the UK delivery vehicle for Lumera's broader portfolio, which includes a SaaS Life and Pensions Administration Platform, migration services, data consultancy, customer empowerment solutions, and transformation consulting. No revenue, headcount, customer logos, or management team information is publicly disclosed for Acuity, and pricing is not publicly available.
