Shackleton, a business which incorporates the rebranded Skerritts Group, has launched today.  Headquartered in London, Shackleton will operate as a single, nationwide financial advice firm, with a physical presence in major cities and towns across Britain.

Shackleton has an established nationwide presence and has been rapidly growing its scale, and reputation of being an industry consolidator, through a successful Buy & Build strategy, supported by Sovereign Capital Partners.

Shackleton announces the purchase of four more financial advice businesses, bringing the number of deals completed to fifteen since Sovereign Capital Partners’ investment in March 2021, seven of which have taken place in 2024 alone, bringing assets under advice and management to circa £5.5 billion. The four firms are Save & Invest Group Limited, Fleming Financial Limited, Robson Lister Limited and Shorts Financial Services LLP.

Commenting on the four purchases, Shackleton CEO Paul Feeney said:

“I am delighted to welcome the teams and clients from Save & Invest, Fleming Financial, Robson Lister and Shorts Financial Services who all join as Co-Founders of our new national business. Their addition greatly complements our existing Co-Founder firms.”

“We’ve launched Shackleton – Britain’s financial adviser with the vision of bringing together into one business what we firmly believe to the best, most professional financial advice firms from across the country. The addition of these four exceptional firms demonstrates our commitment to delivering against this goal. We are just beginning. There are other regional and indeed multi-regional champion firms, right across the country, who are joining us in our great undertaking. We will shortly announce them too, subject to regulatory approval.”
