Lomond has announced the acquisition of yet another London independent agency – its sixth of the year.
Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Lomond’s flagship agency in the Capital, already operating with over 60 branches with a significant stronghold in South London, is set to bolster its presence in the Merton area, with its latest purchase of Colliers Wood stalwart, eddisonwhite Ltd.
Established 21 years ago by Richard Eddison, who identified an opportunity to provide a client-first approach in one of London’s leafiest residential corners, the business has grown organically to comprise three branches, in Colliers Wood, Wimbledon and Morden.
The agency has a reputation for being deeply rooted in the local community, sponsoring street planting, Little League football and Merton Dogwatch, amongst others.
NATURAL FIT
John Ennis (main picture, inset), Chief Revenue Officer, says: “We are excited to welcome on board the clients, customers and staff of eddisonwhite who have operated for many years in South West London, right in the heartland of KFH.
“They are a natural fit for the brand, emphasising the same personal service and local knowledge for which KFH is best known.”
CHANGING LANDSCAPE
Richard Eddison, Founder and Director of eddisonwhite adds: “After many years dedicating myself to the local community as a proud independent agent, the time has come to hand the reins to an organisation that is equipped to help steer and support our clients through the changing property landscape.
“After experiencing the core values and ethos of KFH first-hand early in my own career, there’s no doubt in my mind that it’s the perfect fit for eddisonwhite’s next step.”
