AFH CEO Alan Hudson said: “Our fourteenth acquisition of the financial year is the client portfolio of an established IFA business in Wiltshire.

“I wish Brian well in his retirement and am pleased to welcome Derek to AFH. I look forward to further developing the Company’s presence in the South and providing Emery’s existing clients with the advantages of the AFH proposition.”

Earlier this month, AFH marked its thirteenth acquisition of the year with the purchase of Bedfordshire-based Ashton House IFA for a maximum consideration of £2.6m.
