With roots dating back to the 1820s, when John Potter partnered with William Ford, our client specialises in land transactions, freehold sales, and the letting and management of shops and offices, actively overseeing more than 180 properties.
The business is run by Richard French and was brought to market to support his retirement and relocation plans. The sale was led by Leanne Boulding and Regional Commercial Director Simon Burns, attracting an impressive level of interest.
The opportunity generated 63 enquiries, resulting in six offers, with the deal completed within six months of launch and achieving a substantial value. The acquirer: Gilnton Slade, a fellow Buckinghamshire-based company operating in the same sector.
Led by John Shaw, Gilnton brings decades of expertise, ensuring the continued success and strong reputation of Potter and Ford under its new ownership. All the best from the Knightsbridge team – and a very happy retirement to Richard!
