Wren Sterling CEO Ian Halley referred to the deals as ‘exactly the sort of acquisitions we believe have a great fit with the business’.

Halley said: “Each of these businesses are well-established with long standing client relationships, strong compliance cultures and I’m delighted that they have chosen to join Wren Sterling.”

He also divulged that the company is eyeing further acquisitions in the coming months.

Wren Sterling formerly operated as Towergate Financial and was rebranded in 2015 following a management buy-out. It offers financial advice, investment advice, and pensions advice.

At present, Wren Sterling has £4.6bn in assets under advice.

Last August, the company closed the purchase of Woking-based IFA Frobisher Capital from parent Corimar Holdings.

In July 2019, the firm bought Dunfermline-headquartered TD Armstrong Financial Planning.
