“The more we learned about its clients, its team, and the values it has built the business around, the more excited we became about bringing this partnership to life.

“This is a practice that has earned genuine trust and loyalty in Liverpool, and that’s something you can’t manufacture. It perfectly complements everything we’ve already built across the region.”

Wendy said: “We’ve always believed that real relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Joining DJH gives our team and our clients access to a much wider platform, while preserving the personal, advice-led culture we’ve worked so hard to build. We’re excited about what this means for Liverpool.” 

This deal is the 19th acquisition made by DJH since 2020 and takes its total workforce in the UK and Ireland to nearly 775 people.
