The Howden Group has acquired Dublin-based financial services company, Finance Solutions, after also obtaining SPF Private Clients last year.
Finance Solutions was founded in 2011 and serves 7,000 clients with its 40 staff members.
Aston Lark Ireland — which will shortly rebrand to Howden Ireland in the coming weeks — has agreed terms to acquire Finance Solutions subject to regulatory approval.
Robert Kennedy, CEO at Aston Lark Ireland, said: “Finance Solutions is a stand-out business in its sector, highly regarded as one of the best mortgage brokers in Ireland, and passionate about delivering the very best outcomes for clients.”
Ken Murray, founder and MD at Finance Solutions, added: “Our growth over the past 12 years has exceeded expectations, and this acquisition allows us to further accelerate that growth.
“It demonstrates the confidence that exists in our offering, our people, and in the opportunities for growth within the market.
“Aston Lark and Howden’s experience, network and support will enable us to create more choices and an even better experience for our valued customers, while still retaining the trusted advice and personal touch for which Finance Solutions is known."
