SHW has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Bonsors Penningtons to expand its reach across the South West London area.
Bonsors Penningtons, trading as Bonsors, is an established commercial property agency, which has traded from its Kingston base since 1960. The company advises on commercial agency, professional services and property management and is led by Andrew Pollard, who specialises in lease advisory and valuations.
SHW has taken over the day-to-day running of the Bonsors business operations, with Bonsors’ existing Kingston office – which will be known as SHW SW London – becoming SHW’s tenth office. Bonsors will initially be branded as ‘SHW incorporating Bonsors’.
Russell Markham, managing partner at SHW, said: “The Bonsors’ 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 serve these clients, and others, across the South East with our agency, management, building consultancy and professional services expertise. The merger will also bolster our growth within the South West M25 region and we are delighted to welcome the team to the SHW family.”
Andrew Pollard, director of Bonsors, 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 and future clients by offering them a full suite of advisory services, including building surveying; planning and architecture to add to our existing expertise, as well as specialist professional services offered by SHW in the form of rating and medical. We look forward to working with the SHW team to develop wider client relationships across our combined service lines.”
