Jon Telford and Jilly Mann, joint Managing Directors, will remain in business for a further two years to facilitate a smooth transfer to the senior management team, who are to drive further growth as part of the wider Titan group.

Acquiring Telford Mann also enhances Titan’s ability to deliver comprehensive, integrated investment and platform services and its client-to-custody strategy.

Jon Telford, Joint Managing Director at Telford Mann said, “From our early conversations, we quickly felt that Titan Wealth would be a valuable partner to take Telford Mann into the next stage of its growth. Jilly and I are incredibly proud of what we achieved together, and we look forward to working with the team at Titan over the next two years to ensure a seamless transfer of management, for our colleagues and our clients.”

Andrew Fearon, Joint CEO & Head of M&A at Titan Wealth Holdings said, “The acquisition of Telford Mann represents an exciting opportunity for Titan and brings a high-quality business into the Group with the scope to further grow EBITDA over the coming years. Titan is increasingly well-positioned to pursue our ambitious growth targets, meet and drive further demand for our integrated client to custody model of investment and platform services.”

The acquisition is expected to complete in January 2023, subject to regulatory approval.
