Commenting on the deal, the owner of the acquired firm, Mike Taylor, said: "The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) deadline is a matter of weeks away and is forcing big regulatory changes on the market for Independent Financial advisers."

"We wanted to feel confident that our clients will be receiving the best possible financial advice and support post RDR and so took the decision to partner with a business which is already RDR ready," Taylor added.
