Chartered accountants Wright Vigar and Hobsons have merged. The new group will operate in Nottingham and Newark under the Hobsons Wright Vigar name.
Wright Vigar, providing services since 1979, will now have eight offices across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and London.
The move is in line with Wright Vigar’s strategy to accelerate growth through mergers with organisations that are a strong cultural fit and strengthen their position within new and existing markets. They acquired a practice in Mansfield in 2020.
Established almost 90 years ago, Hobsons work with clients in the local Nottinghamshire community and service businesses across many sectors.
The merger sees 35 fee earners join the Wright Vigar team of 124 team members.
Jim Scully, Managing Director from Hobsons, said: “This is a significant step for both firms and we are delighted to be joining forces with Wright Vigar. Like ourselves they focus on building strong personal relationships with their clients throughout their teams.
“The depth of their resource and expertise in both the advisory and technology sectors will complement our current offering, and allow us to provide a wider range of in house services to our clients.”
Managing Director at Wright Vigar, Pete Harrison, said: “It has always been our ambition to open a substantial office in Nottingham and build our profile in Newark and we are excited to start working with the Hobsons team.
“From our conversations we could see their culture was very much aligned with ours, so we know this is an opportunity that is right for our business, and our team and will allow us to continue to provide excellent service to our clients.”
