Professional services firm Xeinadin has acquired two accountancy practices, Barnsley-based Gibson Booth Ltd and King Hope, which operates in Northallerton, Darlington, and Hartlepool.
The acquisition expands Xeinadin’s network to 16 offices in northern England. Gibson Booth will now operate as Xeinadin Barnsley, while King Hope integrates into the firm’s regional structure. Gibson Booth’s Huddersfield office and its insolvency division in Barnsley remain independent.
The move enhances Xeinadin’s capabilities in agriculture, charities, and education sectors while providing acquired firms access to expanded resources, centralised support, and a broader UK and Ireland network.
Leadership from both firms cited the benefits of joining a larger organisation while continuing to serve local businesses.
