48 members of staff, based at James Hay’s Bristol office, will also transfer across when the deal completes.

He said: “The sale keeps us focused on our core aim of creating a financial planning and retirement focused adviser platform, with the scale to enable greater investment in technology, products and service to meet the needs of advisers and their clients.”
