Manchester-based insolvency and advisory firm Bell Advisory has been acquired by London-headquartered advisory firm Quantuma.
Quantuma, which has 18 offices worldwide and 15 in the 海角视频, said Bell Advisory will operate under the Quantuma brand.
Bell Advisory is comprised of two team members, founder Gary Bell and Paul Llewellyn, who will join the firm as restructuring and insolvency director and manager, respectively.
The pair will continue to be based in their current central Manchester offices, while Quantuma’s Manchester office lead Rob Parry looks for a larger office space for both teams.
Quantuma, which opened its first Manchester location at No1 Spinningfields in March last year, said the firm has grown its headcount to 14 in the region.
Mr Parry said: “We continue to grow rapidly in the North West and when the opportunity occurs to merge with a quality practice with experienced advisers like Gary, then it makes sense to talk.
“Growing the range of services we offer in the region has been on our agenda for some time, and we have been extremely impressed by the quality of work delivered by Gary and his team.”
Mr Bell added: “It is an excellent time to join Quantuma’s team in Manchester.
