Norfolk-headquartered real estate agency Brown & Co has struck a deal to merge with Oxfordshire-based Adkin.
Charles Whitaker, managing partner of Brown & Co, said the deal will add to the firm’s positioning of Oxfordshire as “a major regional hub” for the business. The transaction is expected to take effect in April.
Whitaker added: “We see great synergies between the two businesses, both sharing a heritage and legacy created across the country and sharing core business values. Adkin has a long-established client base in Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, and we are delighted to add its capacity and people to our business.”
Julian Sayers, chairman of Adkin, said: “We share the values and culture of Brown & Co, and this represents an ideal fit for our staff and clients to provide a long-term future and the opportunity for growth of the firm.”
Sayers will become a consultant with Brown & Co and Simon Alden, managing director, will become a full equity partner. Adkin’s Alison Bowler, Emily Ham, Kerry Holbrook-Bull and Kevin Prince will all be appointed divisional partners.
