Fenn Wright acquires Taylor and Company

Fenn Wright continues its expansion with the acquisition of Taylor and Company.

The expansion brings together the combined talents of both independent practices, covering all aspects of commercial property agency and professional work throughout Essex and Suffolk.

Taylor and Company will continue to trade as a specialist commercial office and industrial agency practice as part of the Fenn Wright group, based at Fenn Wright’s existing Chelmsford branch. James Wills and his team will continue to service new and existing instructions under the Taylor and Company banner.  Chris Maxey is retiring from the practice but will remain as a consultant.

Roger Hayward, senior partner at Fenn Wright, said “We are delighted to have acquired the highly reputable practice of Taylor and Company and greatly appreciate the addition of James Wills’ knowledge and expertise which will compliment and strengthen our commercial division. Together the two practices will be able to provide a broader spread of services to a wider range of clients across the region.

“The acquisition of Taylor and Company is in line with our strategy of strengthening our presence in the main regional centres and offering all our clients a wider range of specialist property services.”

James Wills, Taylor and Company, said “I am delighted to have reached this agreement with Fenn Wright which secures the long-term future of our business and provides an enhanced range of services and advice to our clients.“
