Acquisition adds up for accountancy firm

An accountancy firm has expanded with a takeover.

Bradleys has bought Ballance and Lowbridge Accountants.

Bosses say the “key” move will further boost Hednesford-based Bradleys’ growth ambitions.

Founded in 1991, Bradleys works with sole traders, partnerships and limited companies.

Ballance and Lowbridge, launched in 1990 and also based in Hednesford, works across a range of industries. 

The takeover was supported by business advisory firm Leonard Curtis, which secured a six-figure loan with Funding Circle.

Phil Bradley, managing director of Bradleys, said: “This is a key acquisition for us as our practice continues to expand.

“We have known the team behind Ballance and Lowbridge for many years, and the timing was ideal for both businesses.

“The Leonard Curtis team were excellent throughout.”

Craig Jones, of Leonard Curtis, added: “This is a well-aligned purchase for Bradleys.

“We were delighted to work with them to deliver a funding solution that allowed the deal to progress smoothly, navigating the complex funding market to secure the right solution.”
