Bedale-based Kenneth Easby Ltd, which has been trading since 1949 and also has a Northallerton base, has provided financial support to owner managed business, the agricultural sector and high net worth individuals. The firm is led by Ken Graham, who will continue in his role under Xeinadin's ownership.
The acquisition is the third this year for Xeinadin, which also bought Romsey-based Clear Vision Financial Management and Northern practice Poppleton and Appleby, expanding its national footprint.
