Connells Group has completed a double acquisition of The Property Store in East Kilbride and Campbell & Dean in Falkirk.

Both businesses will rebrand into Connells Group’s Scottish brand, Slater Hogg & Howison, which already operates in Falkirk and East Kilbride, with new and existing colleagues joining forces to offer an elevated service and maintain trusted client relationships in each location.

Campbell & Dean and The Property Store have strong local presence, and collectively add almost 900 properties to Connells Group’s significant lettings portfolio.

Chris Rosindale, Connells Group’s chief operations officer, said: “These are both fantastic, trusted agencies with strong lettings portfolios and brilliant staff. We’re thrilled to welcome our new colleagues from both Campbell & Dean and The Property Store to our Group and thank their previous owners for trusting us to build on their success as they move on to new ventures.

“This is part of an exciting new chapter for Connells Group where investment and growth play a key role in our future plans, and we’re committed to further growing our sales and lettings footprint with quality agencies in England, Scotland and Wales.”

Having completed four acquisitions in Q1 this year, Connells Group says that it 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 group.
