UK-based Hawksford Group has purchased Singapore-based Janus Corporate Solutions for undisclosed sum.

Established in 2009, Janus is a corporate services business in Singapore that offers secretarial, accountancy, business support and immigration services.

Janus has 40 employees and will continue to be managed by chief operating officer Jacqueline Low, supported by her team in Singapore and the Hawksford management team.

Amardeep Misha and Pardeep Boparai, the original founders of Janus, will leave the business after a short transition period.

Maxine Rawlins, CEO of Hawksford, said: "The acquisition of Janus has a significant impact for Hawksford. We are committed to offering our clients the highest quality services in the locations they choose; this client service philosophy underpins our decision to expand into Singapore.

"We searched long and hard for a high quality business in Asia that would complement our existing service offering, and we are delighted to welcome the Janus team to the Hawksford Group."
