LEADING SURVEYORS ANNOUNCE
MERGER
Two of the best
known surveying firms in the M3 and M25 markets, Atkinson Richards and Hurst
Warne, have announced that they are to merge with immediate
effect.
The enlarged
firm will trade as Hurst Warne LLP with six partners and will operate from its
existing offices in Fleet and Leatherhead, covering the key commercial
property markets of Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and South West
M25.
Atkinson
Richards was formed in 1995 by Nick Atkinson and Peter Richards, whilst Hurst
Warne was founded in 1978.
Peter Richards
says: “The merger will create a niche commercial practice covering some
of the most important business centres in central southern England. The
enlarged firm will provide its clients with local knowledge, regional coverage
and direct personal service at partnership level.”
Maurice Johnson
adds: “The synergies of skill and service between the two offices enable
us to deliver clear benefit to our clients. We believe that the combined
expertise of the enlarged firm will allow further expansion, both
geographically and with new disciplines.”
Hurst
Warne’s clients include: SEGRO, RREEF, Kenmore Property Group Terrace
Hill, Brixton Estates and Land Securities. The firm has an existing management
portfolio of properties around the UK worth over £450million.
