Shaw Gibbs has announced a merger with Langdowns DFK, in a move that furthers its geographical presence. Langdowns has three offices in Hampshire, and brings a “wealth of expertise and a dedicated team of professionals to the Shaw Gibbs family”.
The merger is part of Shaw Gibbs’ broader strategy to strengthen its position as a leading accountancy and business advisory firm in Central and Southern England.
The addition of Langdowns DFK to the Shaw Gibbs Group will result in a practice with 54 partners and 550 people based in: Oxford, Andover, Basingstoke, Bristol, Farnham, Guildford, Liss, London, Southampton, Sutton, Teddington, Thame, Northampton, and Winchester.
Neil Raynsford, partner at Langdowns, said: “With a history of more than 70 years, it was important to us to build on success by creating a union with a larger practice who work in the same way we do. We have known Shaw Gibbs for some time and have been impressed with their journey.
“The fact that they have provided autonomy for the companies in their group to achieve great things with their backing was a huge appeal to us and we can see a bright future together.”
Peter O’Connell, managing director of Shaw Gibbs, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Langdowns to the Shaw Gibbs group. This merger aligns with our strategic vision of expanding our geographical footprint and enhancing our service offerings.
“The team at Langdowns share our commitment to excellence and client-centric approach, making them a perfect fit for our firm.”
