Since then, the firm has continued to attract strong inflows through its private client and fund management arms.

The news follows several other key events, including recent relocation of its Blackpool headquarters to new premises to support the firm’s overall expansion.

Earlier this month, the Norwich office celebrated its first anniversary, attracting in excess of 250 clients and £85m assets under management (AuM).

Stuart Brookes, joint managing director at Hargreave Hale, said: “Surpassing £6bn in funds under management is a significant achievement, particularly at a time when investors remain uncertain about the country’s economic and political prospects.
