David Lawrence, UK chief executive at Kingswood, said: “I’m delighted to announce the acquisition of Vincent & Co, our fifth acquisition this year.
“Vincent & Co have been established for over 20 years and have built deep relationships with their clients and an ethos which matches ours at Kingswood. This is a great opportunity to make an acquisition that consolidates our presence in Lincolnshire.
“During 2022, we will continue to focus on our acquisition activity. We have a strong pipeline of activity, with four potential acquisitions in exclusive due diligence. Our near-term target is to build our UK AUA in excess of £10bn in the UK and £14bn globally.”
So far this year, Kingswood has acquired Yorkshire-based DJ Cooke Financial Planning; Allotts Financial Services in Rotherham; Joseph R Lamb Independent Financial Advisers in Essex; and Eastleigh-based Aim Independent.
