Following negotiations with Walker Fraser Steele, one of Scotland’s oldest firms of chartered surveyors, an asset purchase arrangement has been entered into which will see the brand and surveying partners incorporated into e.surv’s operation north of the border.
From today e.surv, trading as Walker Fraser Steele, will have 21 surveyors operating across Scotland, substantially expanding the coverage for Walker Fraser Steele clients across the country.
And senior partners and managers from both organisations will now sit together on a management team, to drive the combined business forwards in 2013 and beyond.
Richard Sexton, business development director at e.surv chartered surveyors, said: “e.surv manages more valuation work in Scotland than any other business. But we’re keen to increase our brand recognition ‘on the ground.’
“By joining forces with Walker Fraser Steele we will be combining our own established resources and market position with the huge good will that exists for Walker Fraser Steele, north of the border. All this means good news for clients.
“The deal will ensure the continuation of a fine brand in the Scottish valuation industry, during what continues to be challenging times.”
