Leeds-based wealth management and legal advice firm Progeny Group has snapped-up a HR consultancy in Lancashire.
In line with Progeny's 'acquire to hire' strategy, the management team and staff of Burnley-based Halo HR will join the firm.
Halo's founder and managing director Samantha Moxham will take up the newly created role of HR director for Progeny.
Founded in June 2013, Halo HR works with a range of businesses from professional services to manufacturing, hospitality and retail, offering a range of HR expertise on matters such as contracts of employment, employee engagement and dispute resolution.
The acquisition will allow Progeny to build on its pre-existing retained relationship with Halo as its long-standing HR consultancy, while the additional offering will compliment Progeny Law's 'Club Legal by Progeny' service.
Neil Moles, managing director of Progeny, said: "We are delighted to welcome Samantha and her team into Progeny. We have worked closely together over the years and could not have found a better team to join our journey, adding a complimentary service to support Club Legal while allowing us to function appropriately as we continue to expand as a business."
Samantha Moxham, founder and managing director of Halo HR, added: "Having supported Progeny throughout its considerable growth, both in terms of people but also geographically, joining the firm seemed the natural next step. I look forward to expanding our core business through Progeny, while enhancing the opportunities on offer for our employees through the firm's national reach."
A team from Progeny Law, led by Alistair Scott-Somers, acted as legal adviser to Progeny on the transaction. Progeny Law is one of the group's four business areas, which also include wealth management, asset management and private legal advisory.
