Attivo Group, a UK-based wealth management firm, is seeking to double its staff over the course of the year, said the company’s CEO Stephen Harper.
As part of the expansion plan, the firm aims to hire 80 new staff in 2015, which will amount to a payroll increase of around £2.5m, reported FT Adviser.

The company also intends to further acquire at least six advisory firms in the next 12 months. Last year, Attivo has acquired six businesses including Anthony Etkind & Co, a London-based independent financial advisory firm.
Harper told FT Adviser: "Our ratio at the moment is almost 10 to one back office staff to advisers, and this growth will be the same. It is really exciting for us because this year we are up 50% on last year’s turnover.
"If you think we have seen consolidation in the industry you have not seen anything yet – wait for the next three or four years," he added.
Founded in 1998, Attivo Group employs more than 60 staff at its Cheltenham base and also has regional offices in London, Bristol, Tunbridge Wells and Manchester.
