The strategic acquisition builds on Watsons position in the residential and commercial property market and strengthens its offerings to a broad client and customer base across the UK.
Ray Smith, Watsons CEO said: “The acquisition of Westley & Huff marks a pivotal step in Watsons strategic growth. Their presence as well-known Chartered Surveyors within a property hotspot and their deep understanding of their local markets will be invaluable as we accelerate our expansion across the UK. It’s a win-win for both Watsons and Westley & Huff, and most importantly, for the customers we serve.”
The acquisition is designed to be seamless for customers of both enterprisers, merging the brand strengths of two accredited and award-winning RICS-registered valuer practices with Watsons established in 1890 and Westley & Huff in 1952.
Paul Muscutt, Westley & Huff CEO said: “We are delighted to join forces with Watsons and value the warm welcome. Our shared commitment to quality and customer satisfaction aligned perfectly. We look forward to contributing to the Watsons Group and to a long and successful alliance that enhances the histories of both companies.”
