Former Omnium Capital managing director Ross Butters will remain with the firm to continue serving his clients.

Commenting on the deal, Butters said: “Our commitment to independent financial advice made IWP the ideal partner to help drive our business forward. We believe that the best advice can only be delivered if complemented with personal service, a view firmly shared by our acquirer.

“Our clients will continue to benefit from the localised, personal service that we provide, with the added advantage of increased centralised support provided by the scale and quality of IWP.”

Omnium will be linked to Murdoch Asset Management, IWP’s main regional office for Hampshire.
