Fri, 09 Jan 2026 | BUSINESS SALE
Everlong Wealth Limited, a Midlands-based chartered financial planning firm advising on more than £350 million in client assets, has been acquired by UK wealth management consolidator Verso Group.
Founded in 2003, Everlong Wealth has a head office in Derby and an admin office in Burbage, Leicestershire. The firm has a team of 12 staff, including six chartered financial planners, and provides wealth management and business advisory services to businesses and individuals across the Midlands.
Following the acquisition, Everlong Managing Director Paul Hamilton and his team will join Verso Group, working alongside the group’s executive team. Chair Richard Garside and director Jakki Grogan will leave the business.
Commenting that joining Verso Group was “an easy decision to make”, Paul Hamilton said: "Verso's client-centric business model, with its focus on quality financial planning, will free us to concentrate on what we do best – providing our clients with outstanding advice, innovative investment solutions and exemplary service.”
"Our clients will have access to a wider range of investment solutions, and our colleagues will have opportunities for professional development and advancement across the group.”
For Verso Group, the deal adds scale to its adviser network, while strengthening its presence and capabilities in the East Midlands. Simon Redgrove, Managing Director of Verso's advisory business, said that the two companies were “closely aligned in how we work and the values we hold, which makes this a strong fit.”
He continued: "We're still working to be the first choice for clients seeking advice and for high-quality advisory firms looking for a long-term partner. Our model is built around clients, with a clear investment approach and centralised administrative and regulatory support, so our advisers can focus on what they do best."
