Blick Rothenberg snaps up Hazlems Fenton

Blick Rothenberg, part of Cogital Group, is expanding with the acquisition of accounting practice Hazlems Fenton LLP, which primarily deals with entrepreneurial and owner-managed businesses.

The acquisition, which will push the firm into the top 20 UK accounting firms in terms of fee income, is an asset purchase so all staff and the 10 partners of the existing Hazlems Fenton limited liability partnership, including joint managing partner Russell Tenzer will move to Blick Rothenberg with immediate effect.

The plan is to rebrand Hazlems Fenton as Blick Rothenberg, although the timescale for the name change has not been finalised.
