Irwin Mitchell subsidiary Ascent is set to make three more acquisitions in the coming months on the back of its takeover of debt collection agency PDP Management Services. 

Ascent, which offers a debt collection service for insurance groups and banks such as Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC, is now planning to increase the range of services it provides, with the three additional acquisitions set to take total turnover to around £10m.
