Killingbeck reveals triple-pronged growth strategy for WH Ireland

This has left the firm with eight core offices, covering the major cities across the UK, with its base in Manchester. It has two additional offices in Colchester and Lymington, which operate as standalone businesses with self-employed staff.

Further acquisitions could be in the pipeline if opportunities arise.

‘Anything in the £200-£400 million arena is ideal but we don’t want new offices,’ said Killingbeck. ‘As a £2 billion business we can be flexible, but we will be disciplined.’
