Financial Planning and asset management firm Progeny has acquired Halo HR’s Burnely-based HR consultancy.

The deal, which was said to be “in line with Progeny’s ‘acquire to hire’ strategy”, will see Halo HR’s management team and staff join the firm.

Halo’s founder and managing director, Samantha Moxham, will take up the newly created role of HR director for Progeny.
 
Founded in June 2013, Halo HR works with a range of businesses from professional services to manufacturing, hospitality and retail as a retained outsourced HR solution offering a range of HR expertise on matters such as contracts of employment, employee engagement and dispute resolution.

The acquisition sees Progeny build on its pre-existing relationship with Halo as its long-standing HR consultancy, while the additional service offering is to compliment Progeny Law’s Club Legal by Progeny fixed fee subscription service.
 
Neil Moles, managing director of Progeny, said: “We are delighted to welcome Samantha and her team into Progeny.

“We have worked closely together over the years and could not have found a better team to join our journey, adding a complimentary service to support Club Legal while allowing us to function appropriately as we continue to expand as a business.”
 
Samantha Moxham, founder and managing director of Halo HR, said: “Having supported Progeny throughout its considerable growth, both in terms of people but also geographically, joining the firm seemed the natural next step.

“I look forward to expanding our core business through Progeny, while enhancing the opportunities on offer for our employees through the firm’s national reach.”
