Regional firm on the hunt for agency opportunities

Henry Adams is on the acquisition trail.

The southern region-focused agency brand has said it is actively seeking acquisitions, joint ventures, and franchise opportunities, particularly in areas that extend their current network of sales and lettings branch coverage across West Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

Ian Wiggett, chief executive of Henry Adams, has overseen the successful integration of numerous property companies into Henry Adams, leading to the growth of each operation. 

He said: “At Henry Adams, we’re not about transactions, we’re about building relationships, so we want to work with business owners to find the right balance for both parties.”

In one example of a successful takeover, the founders of Interlet, which was bought by Henry Adams in 2022, were approaching retirement and keen to secure the future of their company. 

Ray and Sandra Ellis then approached Henry Adams having seen how well previous acquisitions had succeeded. Following the acquisition, they said, “Ian was a pleasure to work with, so accommodating & professional. We have every confidence that the combined teams, with an unrivalled depth of experience, will continue to go from strength to strength without compromising on the quality of service.”

Wiggett added: “Owners may want to exit their business entirely, perhaps to retire or move on to new projects, or to continue to grow their operations backed by extensive support from the Henry Adams group. Every business is unique, so we’re open to discussing different options and tailoring the best solutions, always in complete confidence.”
