Hoxton Wealth has announced the acquisition of Haven IFA, a Manchester-based firm, which adds approximately £140m in assets and further strengthens Hoxton’s presence in the UK. This deal expands Hoxton’s reach into the North West, establishing a key regional base in one of the country’s fastest-growing financial hubs.
The acquisition aligns with Hoxton’s strategic goal of developing a nationwide presence supported by consistent service quality and a shared commitment to putting clients first. Oliver Gorman, the revenue director, stated that Manchester's reputation for talent and innovation made it a natural choice for the firm’s next phase of growth. He described Haven as "a high-calibre team with shared values—client-first planning, local roots, and professional excellence."
Haven’s chartered financial planners have served clients across Greater Manchester for more than two decades. Following the acquisition, two of Haven’s advisers will join Hoxton Wealth, while two others are set to retire. The Haven administration team will also be transferred, ensuring full continuity for both clients and operational staff.
Chris Ball, CEO of Hoxton, mentioned that the partnership developed naturally after initial discussions earlier in the year, as both parties shared a commitment to long-term stability, authentic financial planning, and maintaining Haven’s roots in the North West. He noted that the integration will enhance digital infrastructure, providing clients with access to modern planning tools, improved reporting, and faster response times.
This acquisition builds on Hoxton Wealth’s recent momentum following other acquisitions, including its entry into Asia with the purchase of Infinity Financial Solutions. The group’s expansion strategy continues to focus on uniting experienced advisory teams under one platform while preserving independence, continuity, and high-quality client care.
