Mr La Dell added: “It’s fantastic to be part of the AAB Group’s expansion into Yorkshire, and I’m really excited to introduce AAB Wealth to our clients.

“Having always been a big believer in a client-centric, evidence-based approach to financial planning, I am looking forward to helping individuals and families with their financial planning and specialist tax advice.”
