Taylor Patterson has revealed its rebrand to Mattioli Woods will be completed on 1 October.

Wealth manager Taylor Patterson is set to switch to its parent company’s branding and a countdown has been installed on its website ticking down to the end of Taylor Patterson’s branding.

From 1 October it will officially become the Preston office of AIM-listed Mattioli Woods, which acquired it in 2015.

It means Taylor Patterson’s logos, literature and website will all change to bring them in line with the corporate brand of Mattioli Woods.

The move signifies the final stage of the merger of the two companies.

Mattioli Woods will retain Taylor Patterson’s premises in Mount Street, Preston, a move the firm said would give it “a strong foothold in the North West business region where it also has offices in Manchester city centre.”

Preston-based senior wealth management consultant Keith Pressler said the rebranding of Taylor Patterson to Mattioli Woods was “the next logical step in the successful link-up of the firms.”

He added: “We retain the same team and core values, and clients will be able to access the same services in the same way they do now.”

“We are proud of the long-term friendships and business relationships we have built up.

“Mattioli Woods, with its eight other nationwide offices and £87bn of assets under advice or administration, brings the added benefits of scale, more support and breadth of service to help us enhance the work we already do.”

In addition to its wealth management operation, Mattioli Woods specialises in pension consultancy and corporate benefit services.
