We are delighted to announce our merger with Haines Watts Wales (HWW). Formerly part of a top 15 accounting and advisory network, HWW supports a broad range of businesses in Wales including corporates, SMEs, not for profit organisations and entrepreneurs. Joining Menzies brings HWW into the HLB network that is presently the 8^th largest in the world.

The news will see a dedicated team of 20, including two new partners, join forces with us to expand our Cardiff office to over 40 people with a combined fee income of £4 million.

Through our merger with Haines Watts Wales (HWW), we’re enhancing our existing Business Recovery & Advisory services by adding Audit, Accounts and Tax to our offering in Wales. Both firms share the same values, combining the expertise of a larger firm with the personal service of a local practice, and a deep understanding of the Welsh market and business landscape.

At Menzies and HWW, we pride ourselves on a strong, people-first, client-focused culture, led by partners who know what it takes to build and grow a business locally.

This merger marks a key milestone in our growth journey, as we move towards reaching £85 million in revenue this financial year, double what we achieved just five years ago.

John Cullen, partner at Menzies LLP, said:

“The merger with HWW represents a strategic milestone for Menzies as we strengthen our full-service capabilities in Wales. Wales has always been a very important market for Menzies and this merger underlines our long-term commitment to growth in South Wales. It will create new job opportunities and enable us to offer an even higher level of service as we reinforce our commitment to providing the best offering to clients throughout the country.”

Clive Edwards, Partner, at HWW, said:

We are excited about the opportunities that partnering with Menzies will create. It was important to us that we remained an active cog within any organisation we joined, to both protect the efforts of our staff to date and better enable us and our clients to embrace all the positive uplifts such a transaction will bring. We are confident that this merger will unlock new avenues for growth, strengthening our presence in Wales while offering the best service to clients as we have always done.”

Vicky Carter, Partner at HWW, said:

“Menzies shares many of our values which makes the combination of our two businesses a natural transition. By bringing together our strengths, expertise and vision, we are enhancing the depth and breadth of our services for our clients in South Wales. We’re confident that that this partnership will not only benefit our clients but also foster a dynamic environment where our staff can collaborate, innovate and succeed together.”
