Armitage Jones joins Montpelier revolution
Ilkley-based business consultancy and restructuring boutique Armitage Jones has merged into Isle of Man-based Montpelier Chartered Accountants. Montpelier has launched Montpelier Business Reorganisation which will incorporate the Armitage Jones business.
Armitage Jones was founded in 2008 by its three partners Chris Jones, Tony Armitage and Simon Padgett.
Law firms Gordons and Lupton Fawcett advised on the deal which will involve the Armitage Jones team relocating to Montpelier's existing Leeds office.
Chris Jones, co-founder of Armitage Jones said: “Montpelier has a great deal of momentum and the deal gives us the ability to become a national firm very quickly. The merger was a compelling offer for us as a relative newcomer, challenged to meet the growing demand for our services.
“Our take on the market is different, and we have an ethos of doing, rather than simply advising, that delivers swift results for underperforming businesses and property assets, as well as access to significant business funding.
“With the additional resources we now have access to as part of a wider group, we expect to make a number of very early hires and plan to have representation in more locations within the year.”
