"It’s been a tough 12 months, but as a business we’ve remained really busy, and were delighted to see our most successful quarter 1 ever. We’re now looking forward to building on that success and realising our exciting growth plans for the future, where we’ll continue to focus on delivering an unparalleled service proposition to our new and existing intermediary partners, with whom we enjoy working collaboratively.  We’re part of a group of complementary businesses and have exciting news afoot in the coming days and weeks so it’s a great time to be a part of the business”.

"I am really looking forward to working with Dave going forward as we look to grow our group of companies, offering a collection of consultancy businesses covering finance, property and beyond, striving to become the next generation advisory. As a group, we’ve had a fantastic year with transactions totalling over £1 billion. We’re proud to be a group of companies built on strong relationships, not transactions."
