HMT advises Berkshire’s Leaders Romans Group on & Co Group acquisition
Leaders Romans Group (LRG) has made a double acquisition with the purchase of both Peter Ball & Co and Alexander & Co – operating collectively as the & Co Group.
The two agents combined run multiple branches across London, Surrey, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, bolstering Berkshire-based LRG’s presence in areas it’s so far lacked comprehensive coverage.
George Thomas, CEO of Alexander & Co, is set to leave the business after a brief transition period, after which all remaining staff will transfer to LRG.
The purchase was facilitated by Oxfordshire corporate finance advisors HMT.
