Hal Brierley of Dallas’ e-Rewards online-research company says he just added the “easiest $75 million in revenue” to his company ever without getting on a plane. He’s talking about e-Rewards’ acquisition of London-based Research Now plc, an outfit that’s in the same line of business, for $140 million. “The deal is done,” Brierley says, “and it has been celebrated.” After getting the green light from a London court on Monday, the acquisition takes the Dallas company from $105 million in annual revenue to $180 million–and from 350 employees to nearly 800. Brierley (pictured) had been chairman and CEO of e-Rewards, but he’s giving up the latter post in favor of Chris Havemann, previously the CEO at Research Now.
