HBJ Gateley Wareing has drawn up a three-year strategy plan as the newly-forged Anglo-Scots firm attempts to improve its post-merger profile, following admissions it has struggled to make the new set-up pay dividends.

The firm has agreed on a number of targets including full financial integration by the end of the calendar year after the tie-up between legacy Midlands practice Gateley Wareing and top 10 Scots outfit Henderson Boyd Jackson, which went live on 1 January.
