MHA Maclntyre Hudson, ranked 19th in the Accountancy Top 60 Firms Survey, is to merge with Reading-based practice, HMT Assurance. The move will see three partners and 19 staff move under the MHA banner, joining MHA's existing operation which has 496 staff and 42 partners at 10 offices around the UK. The firms are understood to have been in negotiation for about 18 months before finalising the details of the merger. 'A lot of the smaller firms are looking for opportunities to provide better and wider offerings to their clients and we felt they were of a size where they were looking at life from that perspective,' said MHA chairman Rakesh Shaunak.
