Acquisitive broker Bollington has picked up another regional firm, Wigan-based MG Smithies, following its acquisition of FM Green last week.

Bollington will jettison the MG Smithies brand but continue dealing with personal and commercial business from the same premises in Wigan.

And Bollington intends to purchase more brokers in the north-west.

Paul Moors, chairman of Bollington said: “I am delighted with this latest acquisition, further consolidating our position as one of the North west's largest independent brokerages.

“Following on from our acquisition of Wallwork Jensen earlier in the year, this latest move demonstrates not only our commitment to the region, but also our keenness to acquire quality businesses as part of our ongoing growth strategy.”
