SHW has opened a new office in Guildford, Surrey, as the company continues to expand its presence across the South East.
As part of its recently announced strategic partnership with Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), SHW will assume responsibility for LSH’s existing Guildford office.
The move will see SHW take on two experienced agency professionals and responsibility for LSH’s mandates currently serviced from the office. The Guildford office will be led by SHW partner Adam Godfrey, with Tim Shaw joining the firm as director to lead the agency team, supported by Elliot Hope.
SHW’s multidisciplinary service offering in Surrey will be delivered by James Connor, who will lead building consultancy and architecture; associate Harry Pleece, covering professional services; partner Robin Howland, leading property management; and partner Richard Pyne who will oversee retail agency.
Russell Markham, managing partner at SHW, said: “Our strategic partnership with LSH was established to accelerate SHW’s growth and support our long-term expansion objectives. Establishing a stronger presence in Surrey is a key part of that strategy. This move enables us to enhance our service offering to clients across the region, while working closely with colleagues across our ten South East offices. It also significantly improves our coverage along the A3 and M3 corridors, strengthening links with our Hampshire team and extending our reach across the wider Surrey market.”
