UK Investment Solutions has become Beyond Advice Group as it looks to expand its services in 2026.
To date, the company has operated under its trading style MHW (previously Markland Hill Wealth), which will continue.
But it said it wanted to change the name of its parent company due to the expansion of its support services for the advice community.
The firm currently offers business development consultancy, tech integration support, compliance support and paraplanning and adviser development.
CEO David Dawson said: “We felt that the ‘Beyond’ brand supports this growth and development perfectly.
“At Beyond, we’re here to support financial advisers on every step of the climb towards business success.
“Whether already established or looking to scale to new heights, we provide the tools, insight and practical guidance to help advice firms grow with confidence.”
The addition of support services will partly fund MHW’s planned acquisitions, of which the firm expects to make a handful in the new year.
Currently, the firm has 30 advisers working across four offices and managing £600mn in assets.
The firm said group revenue will finish the year at least 25 per cent higher than previous years, due to acquisition, recruitment and organic growth.
Speaking to FT Adviser back in October 2024, Dawson explained MHW’s growth plans and how this included reaching out to educate the clients of the future.
This meant going into workplaces, schools, sports clubs and charities with strategically placed content that informed people and would draw interest in its services from prospective clients.
“I just don’t like the idea of sitting waiting for clients to come to us. It just doesn’t sit comfortably with me as a business model,” Dawson said at the time.
“I think you either are growing a business or it’s going backwards, even if you don’t realise it.
“And we can’t go backwards. I don’t want us to go backwards, so the only way to go forward is to go to where people are, rather than wait for people to come to us.”
