Cowgills expands into Yorkshire following acquisition of financial services firm

North West financial services firm Cowgills has expanded into Yorkshire following its acquisition of local business Jacobs Financial Services.

Based in Ilkley in West Yorkshire, the former Jacobs office has been refurbished, with the original team, led by financial planning directors Spencer Bennett and Shaun Davison, staying on to join the newly branded Cowgills Wealth firm.

The company specialises in business advisory services including corporate finance, tax, audit, and business recovery and wealth management, focusing on supporting SMEs and entrepreneurs locally and nationally.

Headquartered in Bolton and with offices in Manchester, Cowgills has experienced a 65 per cent growth in business in the last five years, and is now rebranding all of its North branches as part of its continuing expansion.

Paul Stansfield, Cowgills managing partner commented: “We are delighted to launch the Cowgills name in the Yorkshire region and look forward to servicing our loyal client base in the area. We have over 180 employees based across the north and are actively recruiting the best people to join our growing team.”

Jacobs financial planning director and remaining head of the rebranded Ilkley branch, Shaun Davison, added: “We have been operating in the West Yorkshire region from our Ilkley base for over twelve years… we are delighted to now be a fully-fledged part of the Cowgills team.

“We are committed to building our business in Yorkshire and have firm roots in Ilkley and the wider community. We are able to offer our clients a full range of independent financial advice locally whilst having the support of Cowgills Wealth national expertise.”
