CBAM chief executive Martin Andrew said: “I am delighted to welcome PMN to the CBAM family, an acquisition which further underlines the fact that we are a dynamic and growing business.

“Not only is PMN a highly successful and trusted provider, but crucially, the business has deep cultural synergies with CBAM. Our success is built on our dedication to put clients at the centre of everything we do and PMN share that commitment and focus.”

CBAM, part of British merchant banking group Close Brothers Group, has footprint across Manchester, London, Gatwick, Bristol, Chester, Farnham, Newcastle, the Midlands, Northwich, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

Profit attributable to shareholders dropped 46% to £109.5m from £201.6m over the period.
