WALKER CRIPS GROUP LIMITED
Walker Crips Group Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 01432059, incorporated on 21 June 1979. The company is recorded as active with Companies House and is registered at 128 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BJ. Its principal business activity is classified under UK SIC code 64999, financial intermediation not elsewhere classified.
Walker Crips Group Limited operates as a UK financial services group providing investment management, wealth management and financial planning services to private and professional clients, alongside a software-as-a-service business line. Its principal trading subsidiaries carry out discretionary and advisory investment management, financial planning and related nominee and custody services.
Until 9 March 2026 the company was registered as Walker Crips Group PLC, and before that as Walker, Crips, Weddle, Beck PLC (1988-2007) and Walker Crips Weddle Beck & Co. Limited (1979-1988). As Walker Crips Group PLC, its ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker WCW. Trading in the shares was suspended in early March 2026 and the AIM listing was cancelled with effect from 4 March 2026, following completion of an acquisition by PhillipCapital UK Ltd, part of the Singapore-headquartered Phillip Brokerage / PhillipCapital group. Under the scheme of arrangement approved by shareholders on 15 January 2026, PhillipCapital UK Ltd offered 14 pence in cash per ordinary share, an approximately 86.7% premium to the undisturbed share price. Following completion, the company re-registered as a private limited company and adopted its current name on 9 March 2026.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2025, Walker Crips Group reported group revenue of £31.3 million, a decrease of 0.7% on the prior year, with assets under management of £2.75 billion, up 1.9% year on year, and a pre-tax loss of £3.3 million. In half-year results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, the group reported revenue of £14.6 million, down 7.3%, assets under management of £3.0 billion, up 9.3%, and a widened operating loss of £6.9 million, largely reflecting a £4.388 million goodwill impairment. These figures are reported at consolidated group level rather than for the legal entity alone.
