Connells Group completes another acquisition as John D Wood & Co. expands presence in south-west London
Connells Group, the UK’s leading property services group, continues its strategic expansion with the acquisition of Aspire Estate Agents Ltd, a well-respected five branch estate and lettings agency in south-west London.
Aspire has a successful sales business covering Battersea, Balham, Fulham South, Fulham Central, and Clapham, as well as a substantial portfolio of over 750 lettings properties. The agency will retain its own brand identity as it joins the John D Wood & Co. family, enabling clients and colleagues to benefit from John D Wood’s established reputation, dedicated property management centre, technical expertise, and broad applicant database.
Chris Rosindale, Chief Operating Officer, Connells Group, says, “This acquisition is an important step in strengthening our presence across London. Aspire’s strong local reputation and network complement John D Wood & Co.’s existing operations and enhance our ability to serve clients in the capital. It’s our sixth acquisition this year, reflecting our ongoing commitment to growth and investment in high-quality businesses.”
Polly Ogden Duffy, Managing Director of John D Wood & Co., comments: “This acquisition marks a key milestone in our growth journey and reaffirms our position as a leader in London’s residential property market. Aspire is a natural fit for our business, having built a reputation for excellence, community values and service. We’re delighted to welcome their talented team and loyal clients into the John D Wood & Co. network.”
Connells Group continues to seek suitable acquisition opportunities and is keen to hear from business owners looking to sell or grow as part of the UK’s most successful property services group.
