Phillip Wale, CEO of WH Ireland, commented:

"WH Ireland has had a very significant year of progress, returning its first full year profit for more than five years, delivering a substantial number of capital markets transactions, including two IPOs, and completing our first wealth management acquisition. The strategy set two years ago for turning around the Group has taken shape and has moved into the next phase; growth.

"The Group's financial position has become more robust, enabling investment in further organic and inorganic growth, particularly in building upon the existing platform now in place in Wealth Management. We continue to look for potential acquisition opportunities and new hires in both divisions as we benefit from the successful integration of Harpsden and the recruitment programme already completed.

"Working conditions over the last year have been extremely challenging and all our employees should be proud of the progress we have made and I wish to thank every client, customer and business partner for their dedication and support."
