Stanton House, a leading recruitment firm, has acquired Grafton Banks Finance Ltd for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition sees Stanton House expand its specialist finance recruitment capabilities and regional footprint across the South East of England.
Grafton Banks Finance Ltd is an independently owned finance recruitment consultancy with offices in Brighton, Reigate, and West Malling. The company specialises in placing finance professionals into both permanent and interim assignments. Its client base is diverse, spanning all sectors and sizes of business, from SMEs to large Blue Chip organisations, as well as accountancy firms across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent.
Founded in September 2008 by Nigel Jeyes and Alex Gregory, Grafton Banks Finance has built a successful business by prioritising customer service, local insight, and expertise. The firm is known for its client-oriented approach, focusing on delivering tailored solutions rather than a target-driven service. This acquisition is expected to create significant synergies, combining Grafton Banks' established regional presence and specialised finance expertise with Stanton House's broader operational framework and market reach.
The integration of Grafton Banks Finance into Stanton House will enhance the combined entity's ability to serve a wider array of clients and candidates. This move is set to deepen Stanton House's specialisation in the finance sector, offering an expanded network and a more comprehensive service offering across the key regions of Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. The combined entity is poised to strengthen its market position, providing enhanced value through a broader talent pool and expanded client relationships.
