Edward Symmons has acquired the business of John Foord & Company, a firm of industrial plant and machinery valuers, for an undisclosed sum.

Paul Proctor, senior partner of Edward Symmons said: “We are keen to expand by acquiring complementary niche players."

"John Foord & Company is a perfect fit, allowing us to expand our existing Machinery and Business Assets (MBA) division and bring in expertise in the specialist areas of capital allowance, reinstatement cost assessments, as well as financial reporting.

"Much of the John Foord business is overseas and this acquisition also gives us a stepping stone in our plans to expand internationally”.
