Pivotal welcomes Purely Financial Planning and KMC Financial to the team

Pivotal is pleased to announce the acquisitions of Purely Financial Planning Limited (“Purely”) and KMC Financial Ltd (“KMC Financial”), two mortgage and protection brokerages operating across the south east of England, in a move that further extends the Group’s regional financial advice footprint.

Purely, based in Walton Thames and established in 2014, was founded and is led by Duncan Hodgson and Andrew Glover.  The business has built a strong reputation in its local market for excellent client service and long-term client relationships.

KMC Financial based in East Grinstead, West Sussex, has built a well‑established presence delivering expert advice under the leadership of Kevin Orchard, who will continue to lead the business following completion.

Both businesses share Pivotal’s focus on delivering trusted advice, maintaining strong client outcomes and preserving entrepreneurial leadership, and stand to benefit from the scale, resources and regulatory expertise of the wider group.

Duncan Hodgson and Andrew Glover, Directors of Purely Financial Planning, added: “Pivotal’s approach strongly aligned with how we have built Purely over the past decade. The Group’s long term perspective, coupled with the support of John Charcol’s experienced management team, will enable us to continue growing the business while maintaining the culture, values and clientfocused approach that are central to Purely.”

Kevin Orchard, Managing Director of KMC Financial, commented:“Joining Pivotal represents a natural next step for KMC Financial. Pivotal’s long term mindset and respect for entrepreneurial leadership were key factors for us. By joining forces, we can continue putting our clients first with quality advice, while gaining access to the scale and support that comes with being part of a larger group.”

Mayank Prakash CBE, Group CEO of Pivotal, added:“KMC Financial and Purely Financial Planning are both well-run businesses with strong leadership teams and a shared commitment to delivering excellent client outcomes. These acquisitions reflect our continued focus on partnering with entrepreneurial brokerages that value quality and long‑term growth. Pivotal is set up to support firms like KMC Financial and Purely with additional resources and regulatory expertise, enabling continued growth while preserving the entrepreneurial autonomy with shared values that underpin our future success.”
