A chartered accountancy, business advisory, and financial planning group has acquired Ribble Valley Mortgages.
PM+M, based in Blackburn and Bury, has acquired the mortgage company in a new deal.
The deal will see Mark Chadwick, founder of Ribble Valley Mortgages, become a director in PM+M’s financial planning team.
Ribble Valley Mortgages, founded in 2019, has 'grown its client base to more than 500 individuals across the UK in five years'.
The company provides a range of mortgage services, along with life insurance, critical illness coverage, and income protection.
This acquisition will allow Ribble Valley Mortgages to continue operating as part of PM+M 'without disruption'.
PM+M made the decision to acquire Ribble Valley Mortgages as it believes the deal will complement and add value to its existing financial planning services.
It said Mark Chadwick "has a reputation for understanding the complexities of the mortgage market and ensuring that his clients’ needs and requirements are always met".
James McIntyre, partner in the financial planning team, said: "We are delighted that Mark has joined us.
"He is one of the region’s most respected mortgage experts so I know he will continue to do what he does best - which is helping clients circumnavigate the complexities of the mortgage market."
Antony Keen, a partner in the financial planning team, added: "We share a passion for exemplary service and care so the fit could not be better.
"Moving forward, I am excited to see how the team develops and integrates into the wider firm."
Mr Chadwick said: "I’ve had the pleasure of working with PM+M for several years and have always been impressed by their commitment to delivering outstanding service and results for their clients.
"I'm excited to now join the team and help expand this new in-house mortgage service, contributing to the ongoing growth and success of the business."
