The Group also paid £1.8m in respect of the earn-out payments for acquisitions made in prior periods which had achieved the requisite performance criteria.

The Company will report its results for the six months to 30 April 2018 on 03 July 2018.

Peter Mann, Non-executive Chairman of Harwood Wealth Management Group, said:

"I am pleased to report that the team has managed to execute nine deals over the period, several of which were of a large scale and all of which are excellent additions to our business. The frequency with which we are managing to complete on acquisitions of stable, high-quality businesses with strong client bases demonstrates the rich pool of opportunities available to Harwood, alongside our excellent reputation for acquisition and integration. We look forward to reporting further details in our interim statement next month."
