Private equity-backed firm Pivotal Growth has announced two more acquisitions.
The group has purchased both More Choice Financial Limited and McPolin Financial Services to strengthen its footprint across England and Northern Ireland.
More Choice, a Bedford-based mortgage and protection broker founded in 2007 by directors Julie Myers and Gareth Tucker, will be integrated as a bolt-on acquisition to Grange Mortgage and Protection Services, an existing Pivotal Growth subsidiary.
The firm will continue operating from its current premises, with growth opportunities supported by Grange and the broader Pivotal Group.
Myers, Director described joining Pivotal Growth as “a fantastic opportunity for our business and our clients”.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Grange and take advantage of the extensive resources now available to us,” she added.
McPolin Financial Services, established over 20 years ago by John McPolin in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, will become a bolt-on acquisition to Select Mortgage & Financial Solutions Limited, another company within the Pivotal Growth portfolio.
The firm will also remain in its current location, with its existing team in place.
McPolin said: “This partnership gives us the backing of a larger group while allowing us to continue serving our clients with the same personal approach.
“It’s a positive step forward for our team and our future growth.”
Both acquisitions support Pivotal Growth’s strategy of building a national network of high-quality mortgage and protection businesses through regional partnerships.
