Begbies Traynor buys Welsh insolvency advisors

(Sharecast News) - Professional services consultancy Begbies Traynor is expanding its South Wales operations with the acquisition of Jones Giles & Clay, a debt advice and business insolvency practice based in Cardiff. The purchase, which was for an undisclosed sum, is expected to "consolidate [Begbies Traynor's] position as the leading business recovery and insolvency practice in the region", the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

Begbies already provides insolvency consultancy, in addition to financial advisory and broking services, transactional support, valuation services and a host of other financial support to businesses.
