Sutton Coldfield-based Donald Wealth Management is led by managing director Jamie Donald. The acquisition of the business adds £135m in assets to IWP.

Commenting on the takeover, Donald said: “In joining Alexander Grace and IWP we have found a group that truly keeps clients at the heart of everything they do. I’m excited for this next chapter of Donald Wealth Management, accessing support and infrastructure as part of Alexander Grace and IWP while focusing on what we do best, looking after our clients.”

IWP CEO David Inglesfield said: “This is the third excellent local firm to become part of Alexander Grace in 2020. We are proud of our investment in the region as we aim to make great independent local advice available to more people.”
