Industry-leading working capital management – facilitated by a focus on financial management, supported by technology, actionable analytics and Client Services Directors who provide a continued focus on revenue generation and cashflow.

Practitioners focus on client service while experienced managers run the business – our professionals focus on delivering services and generating revenue without the distractions of running the business, which is executed by an experienced, agile and established leadership team.

Strong client relationships and limited sector and fee earner concentration brings diversity and resilience to our revenue base.

We continue to strengthen our position in a fragmented regional UK market worth £3.8bn, building on a strong platform to grow organically, complemented by carefully selected strategic acquisitions. A proven, mature and compelling platform for professionals attracted by the freedom from the constraints and ownership risk associated with partnership structures, together with security and unrestricted career development opportunities.

Culture, market and ever-increasing geographical coverage drives recruitment of talented professionals attracted by the opportunity to be equipped and empowered to target and secure high quality regional work. Track record of unlocking value from acquisitions. Supported by our experienced integration team, acquired businesses are fully integrated into our business and our systems and processes, generally within three months and are fully culturally integrated within 12 months of acquisition.

Investment in our operational backbone, including our systems and technology platforms, provides an optimised and scalable platform for future growth, with fixed costs diluted as we grow. This year we have entered two new markets through our acquisitions in Carlisle and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, adding to our existing platform for organic growth and recruitment.
