Wealth manager and SIPP provider Mattioli Woods has announced the integration of Kingswood Group under a unified Mattioli Woods brand, following the two firms’ merger last year.
It said the unified brand “reflects a shared commitment to delivering a more seamless, high-quality client experience.”
It brings to an end the Kingswood brand which acquired more than 20 firms, including many Financial Planning businesses, in a rapid expansion strategy before experiencing financial difficulties.
It needed several cash injections to repay loans. At one stage Kingswood had to warn that it could run out of money to service its £91m debt pile.
Last year Mattioli Woods announced it would merge with wealth manager and Financial Planner Kingswood to form a wealth manager with more than £25bn in assets. The merger completed at the end of 2025.
Both Mattioli Woods and Kingswood are managed and advised by private equity group Pollen Street Capital.
The combined firm serves more than 30,000 clients across the wealth management, Financial Planning and investment management sectors and employs more than 200 financial advisers across a network of more than 40 offices nationwide.
Peter Mann, chief executive officer of Mattioli Woods said: “Bringing both businesses under a single brand, with a shared vision and aligned values, is a significant milestone in our journey.
“It strengthens our ability to deliver a more integrated, high-quality experience for our clients while supporting our ambition to become a £60bn national wealth manager. By combining the expertise and talent of both organisations, we are well positioned to accelerate innovation, deepen our insight-led approach and continue delivering long-term value for our clients.”
