Lancashire-based accountancy practice Cassons has been acquired by a fast-growing £320m national group.

Cassons has offices on St Crispin Way in Haslingden and on Bridge Street in Manchester.

It is part of the CogitalGroup, which has 4,700 staff operating from 150 offices in seven countries, with revenue in excess of £320 million.

Les Nutter said: “We are very positive about joining the Baldwin Group as we are totally committed to our shared ethos of developing relationships with local businesses in local communities, and providing the best level of service through local people. Our own personality and values will remain the same.”

“The support and investment from Baldwins will mean that we can provide extra services and give added value to our clients particularly in terms of technology.

Shaun Knight, director at Baldwins Accountancy Group, said: “We are always looking at areas where we can expand and Cassons has built an impressive and varied client base. “We are looking forward to working with Cassons to help the business and their clients identify growth opportunities moving forward.”
