Clevenger Associates Acquires MVP Services Group

Clevenger Associates, the Puyallup, Wash., foodservice and laundry facilities consultancy, has merged with MVP Services Group, based in Dubuque, Iowa. The merger, finalized March 1, will expand Clevenger’s consulting and design services in the Midwest and its design focus with management advisory consulting services.

Led by veteran foodservice consultant and past FCSI president Ed Norman, MVP Services Group offers more than 30 years of management advisory and design expertise across all foodservice segments, with a concentration in the Chicago and central U.S. markets. Norman will serve as Director of Management Advisory Services and Senior Designer with Clevenger.

“We are thrilled to combine forces with the highly reputable MVP Services Group,” says Brent Hall, v.p.-Clevenger Associates. “Clevenger’s 44 years of history combined with MVP’s 19-plus years of consulting operations experience will bring expanded know-how and greater value to our existing client base while growing our capabilities in other areas of the country.”

In addition to the Midwest office, Clevenger has offices in Seattle, New York, the Middle East, the Philippines and, most recently, California.

“The merger offers a great opportunity for us to provide our long-time clients with even more hands-on support as part of a larger firm with robust design, technology and customer service capabilities,” says Eric Norman, v.p.-MVP Services Group, who will transition into the role of Vice President-Midwest Division, at Clevenger Associates.
