MyWealthManagement to complete four acquisitions in 2025
Mortgage broker and financial advisor MyWealthManagement Group is targeting a workforce of 300 employees across the country by 2030 through acquisitions and a recruitment drive. The Cork firm, part of MyCapital Investment Holdings Ltd, plans to expand its workforce from the current 24 to 80 by the end of this year, primarily through strategic mergers and acquisitions. In recent months, MWM Group has completed the acquisition of Axiom Private Clients, founded by Thomas Roche, the newly appointed MWM Director of Private Equity. Mark Ryan, former Head of Wealth in Mercer, has also taken up a senior leadership role within the MWM team together with Stephen O'Driscoll, formerly of Bank of Ireland and Joey Sheahan, founder of and author of The Mortgage Coach. Former EY regional Managing Partner John Higgins is Chair and Independent Non-Executive Director of the Group. Currently, the company operates from three offices in Dublin and Cork. "We are poised to expand significantly in the coming months and years, creating a multitude of opportunities in key areas of wealth management, financial planning, and mortgage brokerage," Joey Sheahan said. "Building a strong team is similar to building a strong sports team. We are bringing competent people with different skill sets into the company. Like a prop forward in rugby can push a scrum back and an out-half can kick the ball. Two very different skills which complement each other. 'We have four further acquisitions we expect to complete in 2025, at which point we will have 80 staff, six offices in four counties, serving over 30,000 customers across Ireland.' The company has committed €10m towards its 2025 acquisitions strategy having identified a growing need among long-established, traditional brokerages, many of which are struggling with the administrative, compliance, and marketing burdens of the business. By offering a unique opportunity to merge, the company is positioning itself as a solution for those looking to step back from day-to-day operations and focus on client-facing work/retirement. Mark Ryan, Director of Post-Retirement said: "We understand that many brokers face increasing challenges in today's evolving financial landscape, and we want to be a partner that makes their transition easier."
