about
Built from
real experience
Before ETL GLOBAL UK existed, Sara and Peter Brassington spent years working alongside and within professional services firms. They saw the same concern arise time and time again: firms wanted to grow, modernise, and compete at a higher level – but not at the cost of their independence, ownership or identity.
So they built something different.
ETL GLOBAL was created to help firms access the scale, expertise and opportunities needed for long-term growth, while retaining control of their future.
It’s a partnership model shaped by experience of the profession, and a clear belief that growth works best when firms stay true to what made them successful in the first place.
that experience led to
A different type of professional services group
ETL GLOBAL UK brings together ambitious firms across tax, legal, audit, accounting, and advisory within a collaborative international structure designed for sustainable growth. Rather than absorbing firms into a rigid operating model, the focus is on strengthening capability around them, allowing firms to access broader infrastructure, operational support, specialist expertise, and international connectivity while continuing to lead their own future.
Nothing is imposed. Everything is aligned around partnership. The result is a structure designed to support continuity, succession, and growth towards a future that looks like you.Â
