Trio of offices join acquisitive professional services company

Professional services business, Xeinadin, has acquired three Haines Watts offices in the towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Hessle.

This series of acquisitions by the company, following its addition of Clay Shaw Thomas in July and Jones Harris Ltd in August, brings the total to 27 in the past two years.

 Xeinadin explains it is focusing on this region as a “thriving hub for small business growth,” where it says business owners increasingly rely on their local accountancy firms to guide them through their business and financial challenges.

Derry Crowley, CEO, said: “I am happy to welcome the team and clients of three former Haines Watts offices to Xeinadin in what is a key milestone in our growth strategy.

“The team, led by partner Jennifer Toulson, are consummate professionals with a track-record of delivering exceptional services for local businesses.

“They fit in with the ethos of our company and I look forward to seeing them thrive as part of Xeinadin.”

 Jennifer Toulson, Xeinadin Humber Partner, added: “This move marks a new and exciting time in our journey as we join Derry and our new colleagues at Xeinadin.

“We’ll continue to deliver personalised services to our clients in Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Hessle and across Yorkshire, tapping into the resources and expertise of the business advisory firm built for small business.”

 The acquisition will bring 23 colleagues from Haines Watts into Xeinadin’s professional services business under the continued leadership of its existing management team, adding to the firm’s presence in the Yorkshire and Humber.

The business will be known as the Xeinadin Humber offices.
