Corporate, private client, and fund services provider Hawksford has completed its acquisition of the Netherlands operation of Equiom.
The acquisition will see Equiom’s well-established Netherlands team integrate into Hawksford’s existing Amsterdam operations.
Michel van Leeuwen (pictured), Chief Executive at Hawksford, commented: “The acquisition of Equiom’s operations in the Netherlands is the next step in our growth story, significantly bolstering our presence in the Netherlands and our service proposition for corporate clients across Europe.
“Crucially, this acquisition is based on a strong cultural fit between Hawksford and Equiom and we now look forward to welcoming our new colleagues to our team in Amsterdam.”
Jon Jennings, CEO at Equiom, added: “Both Equiom and Hawksford share a strong commitment to high-quality service delivery. This, together with Hawksford’s strategy to expand in the region, makes this acquisition a highly synergistic and mutually beneficial move. This development is not only an excellent opportunity for our clients to access aligned services, but also a positive step for our employees in the Netherlands, who will now be part of a growing Hawksford presence in the jurisdiction.”
