Well-known estate agency eyes growth after completing acquisition

L-R: Ian Wiggett with Sally and Chris Smith

Henry Adams has completed the acquisition of Hawkins & Smith, a well-established estate agency in the village of East Wittering, West Sussex, which was founded in 2011.

The directors of Hawkins & Smith, Chris and Sally Smith, who have more than 30 years experience between them, will remain close to the business as consultants.

Ian Wiggett, CEO of Henry Adams said, “The Witterings is an extremely attractive place for people to live for many reasons, not least the wonderful sandy beaches and watersports. We are delighted to be expanding our services here with Hawkins & Smith joining Henry Adams.
“With experienced staff who live locally and the extensive marketing of Henry Adams, we provide an unrivalled service for homeowners in both East and West Wittering. By combining forces with our new colleagues from Hawkins & Smith, we’re proud to be the number one choice for sellers in the area.”
Jane Yates of Hawkins & Smith lives in East Wittering village and will be joining the team at Henry Adams in their East Wittering branch led by Daniel Forsythe. Yates will be providing continuity to her existing clients while making full use of the wider marketing power of Henry Adams as a larger, independent partnership.
Wiggett added, “We are actively seeking more independent property companies looking for their next steps, whether through acquisition, joint venture or franchising options. Henry Adams is keen to expand our footprint and serve even more people selling or seeking a home, with a range of dedicated property services. Each opportunity to join the Henry Adams stable is carefully reviewed and discussed so that the outcome is positive for owners of each company and of course, staff and clients.”
