The Leaders Romans Group (LRG) has made its sixth acquisition of 2018 with the purchase of a 400-property lettings portfolio from Sussex-based Glyn-Jones and Company.

LRG has taken on the lettings portfolios from Glyn-Jones’ Worthing and Bognor Regis offices.

Both lettings portfolios will now be managed by the Leaders offices in Worthing and Bognor Regis with the connected Glyn-Jones lettings staff transferring to the respective locations.

The remaining Glyn-Jones business will continue to operate lettings in Rustington and Littlehampton, as will a sales services across the whole brand.

Ben Glyn-Jones, managing director of Glyn-Jones and Company, said: “As the founder and owner of the business, it was very important to me that clients and colleagues would continue to be well looked after and that the same levels of service and performance could be maintained by the agent acquiring this business.

“I believe this has been achieved and Leaders’ national strength and financial backing will allow the company to grow and introduce new services.”

Matthew Light, group mergers and acquisitions director for LRG, said: “We are thrilled to have successfully completed on yet another acquisition, adding more than 430 properties to our lettings portfolio in two key towns.

“We are also delighted to welcome the Glyn-Jones staff to Leaders and look forward to working together, to continue growing our market share in our thriving Worthing and Bognor Regis offices.

“LRG remains committed to expanding in 2018 and beyond, by acquiring quality lettings and sales businesses across the UK.

“We have competed six acquisitions this year alone, with several more to come before the close of 2018.”
