Commenting on this latest acquisition, Broadstone Group CEO, Grant Stobart, said: “As part of our strategy to grow all areas of our business we must identify and then capitalise on emerging trends and opportunities.

Acquiring this niche business with its quality client base and experienced staff will provide clients with access to Broadstone’s wider service offering.
