Accountancy firm expands with practice agreement

An accountancy and business advisory firm has bolstered its portfolio with a takeover.

Xeinadin has bought Campbell Crossley & Davis.

The company says the move for the Blackpool-based insolvency practice has strengthened its corporate recovery team.

Under the terms of the deal, partners Chris Brindle and Francesca Vivace remain with Campbell Crossley & Davis, with the company’s team also continuing to operate from its North West base.

Founded in 1994 by partner Ian Williamson, Campbell Crossley & Davis advises owner-managed businesses across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria on restructuring, formal insolvency procedures and financial resolution. 

Derry Crowley, Xeinadin chief executive, said: “Corporate recovery is a critical part of the advice SMEs need in the current climate. 

“Bringing in Campbell Crossley & Davis represents a deliberate investment in strengthening that specialist capability.” 

Ian added: “Joining Xeinadin allows us to retain our local focus in Blackpool, while benefiting from wider infrastructure, technical support and access to a broader client base. 

“It also enables us to work more closely with colleagues across tax, restructuring and advisory.” 

The deal comes just days after Xeinadin bought Gregory, Priestley & Stewart, Accountancy Cloud and added TBL Accountants to its Southend office.
