Streets strengthen North West presence with merger of MacMahon Leggate

Streets, a top 40 UK accountancy, audit, assurance and advisory practice, is delighted to announce its latest merger with the leading Burnley-based firm MacMahon Leggate.

The merger sees MacMahon Leggate become part of Streets. It also further extends Streets’ footprint across the North West, adding to its growing number of offices nationally, reinforcing its commitment to being local in presence, but national in capability.

The merger coincides with the launch of Streets’ refreshed brand and visual identity.

Following significant growth, evolving client needs and developments within the profession, the new brand better reflects Streets today: a multi-disciplinary partnership of trusted advisers with more than 30 offices across the UK, working with ambitious clients while remaining rooted in the communities they serve.

Richard Robinson, director at Streets MacMahon Leggate, said: “Merging with Streets is a hugely positive move for both our clients and our team. As a larger, people-centric firm with a small-office feel, Streets gives us the backing and bandwidth to offer clients an even more proactive, tailored and knowledgeable service with faster response times and a broader range of expertise.

“For our clients in Burnley and East Lancashire, the merger opens the door to a truly comprehensive advisory service. Everything from business start-up support to scale up advice, corporate and personal life tax planning, and personal wealth management is now available under one roof.

“Our team is equally excited about the future as they now have the opportunity to learn from a multidisciplinary group of professionals, progress their careers locally, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues who share a clear purpose and vision.

“Personally, joining Streets gives me the support of a dynamic, growing team and the freedom to focus on what I do best, building lasting business relationships and helping clients thrive.”

Paul Tutin, chairman and managing partner, said: “We are delighted to welcome Richard and his team to Streets. Their well-established presence in Burnley and East Lancashire aligns perfectly with our strategic vision for the North West, and the merger complements our growing number of regional offices.

“We see great synergy and shared values in the way MacMahon Leggate supports its clients, and it is especially pleasing that we can build on this strong local reputation while offering broader advisory services and greater opportunities for growth.

“This merger also comes at an exciting time as we unveil our new brand, a clear signal of our commitment to evolve while staying true to our values with independent ownership, people-focused service and a dedication to supporting clients and communities across the UK.”

As part of the merger process, Streets Law – the firm’s specialist legal services arm advised on all corporate aspects of the deal, working closely with internal colleagues across tax and audit.
