BK Plus enters London market through Freeman Carr acquisition

BK Plus has expanded into the London market through the acquisition of Freeman Carr for an undisclosed sum. The move will expand BK Plus to 43 offices across the UK and more than 800 professionals. 

Freeman Carr was founded in 2003 by Lisa Carr and advises businesses and individuals across London and the South East. It will now have access to a broader range of specialist support, while continuing to operate from its London office, with the existing team remaining in place.

Carr began her career with KPMG before establishing the business in Chiswick. The firm said her focus has “always been to provide advice that is technically strong, practical, and easy to understand”.

Carr said: “I founded Freeman Carr to give clients clear, practical advice delivered in a way that is approachable and supportive. Joining BK Plus allows us to continue doing that while giving our clients access to a wider range of expertise as their businesses grow.”

Shaun Knight, CEO of BK Plus, said: “Freeman Carr is a strong firm with a great reputation and loyal client base. Lisa has built something special and we are pleased to welcome her and the team to bk plus.

“London and the South East are important markets for us. This is a key step as we continue to grow our presence across the UK. From the start, our aim has been to build a national business made up of strong regional teams. Moving into London is another step forward.”
