(This story was originally published Wednesday.) LONDON (Dow Jones)--Stockbroker Astaire Group PLC's (ASTR.LN) Chief Executive Edward Vandyk Wednesday called for more consolidation among boutique small-cap brokers, saying the market has excess capacity, and didn't rule out further buys after it earlier announced an offer to buy rival Hoodless Brennan Holdings PLC for GBP3.61 million. "We have to see more [consolidation]. I'm not saying we will be involved but it's inevitable, the market is overbroked," Vandyk told Dow Jones Newswires, adding that the firm would keep an eye out for any lucrative opportunities. "The phone can always ring. We didn't set out to make this acquisition but the opportunity came along," he said. Astaire--formerly Blue Oar Securities--has been a big player in the consolidating of the small-cap brokerages over the last year or so. It previously bought Dowgate Capital and Ruegg & Co., and is itself majority-owned by Evolve Capital PLC (EVOL.LN). Vandyk said the acquisition would take up to a year to integrate and said part of the rationale for the buy was to take out costs where functions were duplicated, but declined to comment on potential job losses or the level of cost savings.
