Since its inception in September 2019, Imperium UK has steadily evolved into a multi-disciplinary professional services business with a strong UK footprint and an ambitious outlook. What started as a one-person trust services company has since expanded into a fully integrated business offering trust, accounting, tax and corporate services built on a deliberate strategy of targeted acquisitions and thoughtful consolidation.

Today, Imperium Trust Company (UK) Limited (ITCUKL) sits at the helm of this journey, having brought together several specialist businesses under one structure with a clear focus on delivering value for clients and building a platform fit for the future.

A Targeted Expansion Strategy

In September 2020, the acquisition of Vicena International Limited marked Imperium’s first step into the accounting and tax compliance space. Based initially in Orpington, Kent and now operating from Sevenoaks, Vicena brought with it a portfolio of predominantly international clients, a reflection of Imperium’s ambition to build a globally-aware, technically skilled offering.

This was followed by the acquisition of Page Tax Consulting LLP in April 2022, a private client personal tax practice based in Reigate, Surrey. The addition of Page enhanced Imperium’s reach into high-net-worth advisory and UK-based individual tax matters, complementing Vicena’s international focus and diversifying the firm’s client base and technical capabilities.

In June 2023, the acquisition of Magentum Tax and Accounting Limited, based in Basingstoke, marked another strategic milestone. Magentum has since been renamed as Imperium Tax and Accounting Limited (ITAL). ITAL, with its emphasis on accounting, tax compliance and advisory work, offered a strong platform for integration and an opportunity to complement the existing UK businesses.

Integration and Consolidation for Scale

Recognising the benefits of scale, consistency and operational efficiency, Page and Vicena were formally merged into ITAL on 1st February 2025. The move consolidated Imperium’s UK accounting and tax operations into a single, stronger entity delivering a more unified experience for clients and a more scalable structure for the business.

Today, Imperium Trust Company (UK) Limited sits at the top of this structure, retaining its focus on trust, company secretarial and corporate services, while owning 100% of ITAL, the consolidated accounting and tax platform.

A Platform Equipped for Growth

The result is a well-rounded UK operation with complementary capabilities, shared values, and a commitment to delivering trusted advice to both private and corporate clients. The combined strength of ITCUKL and ITAL creates a versatile platform that is not only responsive to client needs, but also positioned for future expansion.

Reflecting on this journey, Grant Twine, Managing Director of Imperium UK, commented:

“What began as a single office trust business has grown into a multi-location, multi-disciplinary professional services platform with a team of 34. We’ve been deliberate in building a structure that not only supports our clients today but is resilient and scalable for tomorrow. By bringing these businesses together, we’ve created something greater than the sum of its parts and we’re now fully equipped to support our clients through their next chapters, just as we continue to write ours.”

The evolution of Imperium UK also enhances the capabilities of the wider Imperium Group, enabling the Group to offer seamless onshore-offshore structuring solutions.

As it enters the next phase of development, Imperium UK continues to deliver on its founding principle: building trusted relationships, backed by technical excellence and delivered with integrity.
