Shaw Gibbs merges with Winchester accountants Martin and Company
Shaw Gibbs has announced its merger with Martin and Company, an accountancy and tax advisory practice with offices in Winchester, Thame, and Liss.
Martin and Company is set to bring its expertise in farming and agriculture, landed estates and private client spaces to the group.
Peter O’Connell, CEO of Shaw Gibbs, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Martin and Company to the Shaw Gibbs family.
“Their reputation for excellence and commitment to client success perfectly complement our values and mission.
“Together, we’ll continue to deliver the high-quality services and innovative solutions our clients expect, while expanding our reach to better serve businesses, estates and individuals throughout the region.”
This marks Shaw Gibbs’ sixth M&A deal since 2023, with the firm now employing 400 people across offices in Oxford, Basingstoke, Farnham, London, Northampton and Teddington – as well as the three new locations.
Seamus McLaughlin, partner at Martin and Company, added: “We’re excited about the opportunities this merger brings for both our team and our clients.
“Joining forces with Shaw Gibbs allows us to leverage their extensive resources and expertise while retaining the personalised approach and deep client relationships that have been the hallmark of Martin and Company for over 50 years.”
