Mowatt Financial Planning becomes One Four Nine Wealth

One Four Nine Group has bought Mowatt Financial Planning, which began in 2009.

The Easingwold firm, which serves clients across Yorkshire and the UK, has been rebranded One Four Nine Wealth.

The acquisition was fully funded by Copper Street Capital, the long-term investment partner of One Four Nine Group, and is the twelfth acquisition for One Four Nine since launching in 2021.

It brings the Group’s total client assets to £2.2 billion with a team of over 30 financial planners and over 5,500 clients.

One Four Nine Wealth is the Group’s financial planning arm, operating alongside One Four Nine Portfolio Management to form one of the UK’s leading wealth planning firms with in-house Discretionary Investment Manager (“DIM”) services.

Gabrielle Beaumont, CEO, One Four Nine Group, said: “I was thrilled when they chose to join us and we remain committed to preserving their local presence while enhancing it with the broader infrastructure, investment capability and long-term succession planning that comes with being part of our Group.

“ It’s important to us that clients continue to feel supported locally, while benefiting from the scale and resources of a national business.

“Backed by our long-term equity partner Copper Street Capital, we are in a strong position for 2026 to continue to grow, attract the best talent and acquire high quality firms across the UK.”

Will Mowatt, Founder, Mowatt Financial Planning, said: “Our business, established in 2009, has grown alongside our clients, allowing us to build strong, lasting relationships over the years.

“We met with many potential acquirers but One Four Nine Group stood out to us as the closest match for our values, as well as our expectations for the high quality of personalised service clients receive.

“Their professional, client led approach , the integration process and unified business structure has really shone through, reassuring us that we were becoming part of a collegiate and culturally-aligned business, providing a secure home for our staff where clients are prioritised.”
