SHW has merged with London-based, privately-owned surveying practice Ashwell Rogers to expand its London agency and national reach.
The business will initially trade as ‘SHW, incorporating Ashwell Rogers’. SHW currently operates nine offices across London and the South East and employs around 200 people.
Ashwell Rogers is known for its focus on the London office market and national in and out-of-town retail sectors in both agency and professional services, and its six-strong team is currently based on Beak Street in the West End. The Ashwell Rogers team will move into SHW’s new West End office on Berners Street.
Russell Markham, managing partner at SHW, said: “The Ashwell Rogers’ team ethos is very much aligned with ours, with a partner-led approach allowing its individuals to provide clients with straightforward, honest, and commercial advice. We already have an existing client synergy, and this move will allow us to better service these clients, and others, across the UK with our agency, management, building consultancy and professional services expertise.
“The merger will also bolster our growth within Central London agency, particularly with Ashwell Rogers’ strong office and national retail coverage, and we are delighted to welcome the team to the SHW family.”
Roger Dunlop and Jeremy Good, partners at Ashwell Rogers, added: “Having worked with various members of the SHW team over the years, we are delighted to be joining forces with a business that has a similar mindset and ethos to our own.
“We are excited about the opportunities this merger will bring, allowing us to better serve our existing clients across the UK by offering them a full suite of advisory services. We look forward to working with the SHW team to develop wider client relationships across our combined service lines.”
