Gordon Dadds has completed a deal to acquire Ince & Co’s UK assets for £27.3m in a pared-down takeover that does not include the firm’s international offices.

The takeover – the value of which has been revised down from an earlier estimate of £34m – marks the end of a long and complex journey that has seen Ince transform from a private, traditional business to a public entity as part of the listed Ince Gordon Dadds.
