TC Group Partner, Phil Murray, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Little & Neal into the TC Harlands family. Lynsey, Alan and the whole team have built a practice with a strong reputation, deep client relationships and a genuine commitment to supporting local businesses. While Alan is sadly no longer with us, when we met, it was clear what impact he had on the firm and its clients, and we are proud to carry that legacy forward. Working alongside Lynsey, we’re excited to build on the excellent foundations already in place and bring even greater support, expertise and opportunity to their clients.”

Little and Neal Partner, Lynsey Ibbetson, commented: “Our strength has always been the personal service that we offer to our valued clients.
