Sky News claims SLA’s advice arm, 1825, had entered into exclusive negotiations to buy Grant Thornton’s wealth advisory business for around £30m.
The news outlet says that, if completed, the deal “would add about 100 employees to 1825, including a handful of partners and roughly 30 individual financial advisers (IFAs)” from Grant Thornton’s Chartered Financial Planning business.
Neither firm has commented publicly on the rumour.
