HURST Corporate Finance was delighted to act as lead adviser to specialist pensions consultancy Organon Trustees on its sale to K3 Advisory Group.

Organon provides bespoke solutions, including self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) and small self-administered schemes (SSASs), to professional advisers and their clients across the UK.

The Stockport-based business is known for its highly personalised approach, deep technical expertise and a strong focus on trustee governance, quality and long-term client relationships.

Its acquisition by K3 marks an important milestone for Organon, providing a platform from which to develop its offering while continuing to deliver an independent, client-focused service.

Our team supporting Organon throughout the transaction comprised Nigel Barratt, Matthew Taylor and Abigail Kelly, who helped maintain momentum, manage deal complexity and deliver a successful completion.

A key area of value was helping to clearly position the strategic rationale for the acquisition, while also supporting both parties through a number of technical financial considerations as the deal progressed.

“We were delighted to support Organon through to completion. The business has built a strong reputation in the self-invested pensions market, with a highly personal approach and a clear focus on quality client service. The acquisition by K3 Advisory Group is a strong strategic fit and provides an excellent platform for Organon to continue developing its offer. We wish the team every success for the future.” Matthew Taylor

Organon continues to be led by founders Adrian McKinnell and Marc Gwynne.

Adrian said: “We have built Organon Trustees around a commitment to high-quality, personalised service and long-term relationships with our clients and adviser network.

“Joining K3 Advisory Group allows us to continue that approach, while benefiting from the broader capabilities and scale of the group.

“We see strong alignment in how we operate and a clear opportunity to grow the business over the coming years.”

He added: “We were extremely pleased with the support that we received from the corporate finance team at HURST.
