TWO business people who named a new company in 2000 using their middle names have sold it for £2.6 million.
Nigel Poole and David Clark set up Harvey Curtis (their middle names) after each notching up around 15 years in financial services.
It is situated in Victoria Road, Burgess Hill.
Now Harvey Curtis has become Bromsgrove-headquartered wealth management firm AFH Financial Group’s eighth expansion in its current financial year.
Harvey Curtis has more than 1,300 clients across the South East and London.
Nigel said: “With the departure of the banks, it’s become increasingly difficult to find young advisers.
“With ever-increasing regulation, we felt we needed new blood to be able to continue to offer the best service to our clients.
“We met AFH and saw we had the same ethos of putting clients front and centre so it made sense to join forces.
“Now our clients get the benefit of the incredible support the AFH back-office teams provide.
“We can devote ourselves 100 per cent to working with our clients to deliver what they want and need.”
AFH chief executive Alan Hudson said: “Their joining adds to our capacity in the South East where we see a lot of potential for growth.”
