Hoxton Wealth continues to expand UK footprint

An international financial advisory firm has strengthened its UK presence with another acquisition, expanding its client base and assets under management.

Hoxton Wealth has acquired Darlington-based Family First Financial Services, marking its fifth UK acquisition in the past 12 months, with bosses saying the deal will “enhance” Hoxton’s “presence in the North of the UK” and advance its goal of “delivering lifestyle financial planning at scale” by adding over £85 million in assets under management.

Family First Financial Services helps clients secure their financial future by providing support with retirement planning, savings and investments, property purchases and insurance needs. 

The company has built a strong reputation in comprehensive financial planning, covering wills, inheritance tax considerations and the benefits of trust funds.

Thomas Maddison, acquisitions director at Hoxton Capital Management, said: “This acquisition is a strategic fit for Hoxton Wealth, significantly enhancing our presence in the North of the UK and further advancing our goal of delivering lifestyle financial planning at scale throughout the country.

“I want to extend my gratitude to Mark Horner and Ian McFarlane at Family First for their collaboration throughout this process. 

“Their dedication has been instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition. 

“Mark will be personally overseeing the handover period, introducing clients to their new Hoxton advisers and ensuring that all necessary steps are taken for a successful integration. 

“His commitment to providing a personal and warm handover will ensure continuity and trust during this transition.”

Hoxton Capital Management now oversees more than $2.2 billion in assets and employs 300 staff globally. Founded in the UAE by British expatriate Chris Ball, the firm continues to build its international footprint through strategic acquisitions.
