Howden Buys Irish Adviser Thomond in Limerick Push

Dermot Gaskin, managing director of financial advisory at Howden, said the firm's focus on long-term client relationships mirrors Howden's own approach. The acquisition will give Thomond's clients access to a wider range of services, he said.

Thomond's co-founders said the partnership means clients will get greater resources and broader expertise while keeping the same personal service.

The purchase follows Howden's additions of Maven Financial Planning in April 2026 and Opes Wealth Trust in May 2026. Howden's financial advisory team, launched last year and led by Gaskin, now includes over 80 professionals across Ireland.
