John deserves his retirement after many years of guiding clients through the biggest financial decisions they will make and I know that our service will provide continuity and expertise for them and their families.”
On Wren Sterling’s acquisition strategy, Ian added: “This is our fifth acquisition and it fits with our strategy of growing the business organically whilst augmenting this approach with the purchase of businesses with high quality assets.”
