DM Hall has 23 offices across Scotland and is now looking south; it sees the acquisition of Hyde Harrington as a first step in seeking opportunities in the north of England and beyond.
Hyde Harrington has offices in Carlisle and Kendal and has been operating since 1994. Its directors and staff are being kept in place but the firm will be rebranded as part of the DM Hall group in due course.
DM Hall senior partner Alan Gordon said: 鈥淲e are very pleased to be able to announce this historic initiative for our firm, which will take us over the border for the first time and will help us identify new geographical areas to serve beyond our traditional Scottish heartlands.
鈥淚t is a logical step for us to look for further growth opportunities beyond Scotland, where we already have a strong presence and a respectable market share in most areas of the country, and where we have successfully grown and diversified significantly in recent years.
鈥淗yde Harrington is a highly respected professional firm which, under the leadership of directors Scott Harrington, Paul Evans, and Charles Metcalf, has established an impressive footprint and reputation across the north of England and, indeed, in southwest Scotland.
鈥淲e welcome the opportunity to work with one of the dominant players in the region and with a team which not only shares our values but also has similar ambitions for growth.鈥�
Scott Harrington said: 鈥淭his alliance with DM Hall, one of Scotland鈥檚 largest and most respected independent firms, is an excellent fit for Hyde Harrington. I have no doubt we will be able to benefit from its established infrastructure and provide an even more comprehensive service to clients.
鈥淚t has been clear from our discussions that DM Hall sees itself as being in the region for the long term and developing as successfully as it has in Scotland. Our entire team is very pleased to be part of that ambition.鈥�
