In April 2014, Ashcourt Rowan completed the acquisition of UK Wealth Management (UKWM), increasing its nationwide footprint to 17 offices and its assets to over £5 billion, of which £2.2bn is discretionary and managed.

Gaius Jones, CEO of Ashcourt Rowan Financial Planning, said: "Now that the integration with UKWM is nearly complete, we are ready to develop our proposition across the country and this can only be achieved by having the very best people on board. I am always delighted by the high standard of personnel we are able to attract through our doors, and our new planners are no exception."
