Target has already joined Succession as a member in 2009. Doe & Davies offers financial advice to private clients, families, business owners, charities and trustees across the Northern Home Counties, East Anglia and London.

Succession works on a model under which it acquires firms that are already part of the Succession Advisory Services network.

Trevor Doe, principal IFA at Doe and Davies, said: "At a time when business owners were giving away their assets because of the regulatory challenge and the economic downturn, we adopted Succession’s transition blueprint to ensure sustainable profits and to build capital value into our business."

Simon Chamberlain, CEO of Succession, said: "Our target is to acquire the best 50 firms from the membership with £7 billion of assets by 2017."
