On Tuesday 29 October, Foxtons Group announced the acquisition of Haslams Estate Agents (Thames Valley) Limited which comprises Haslams Estate Agents in Reading and Michael Hardy Sales & Letting in Wokingham & Crowthorne.
The move is part of Foxtons’ plan to acquire high-quality, lettings-focused businesses. Our business will continue trading under both existing brands, and for our customers, it is very much business as usual. In the longer term, we will implement aspects of the Foxtons Operating Platform to deliver an enhanced customer experience and the most sophisticated use of data and technology in the market.
Haslams Estate Agents was founded over 30 years ago by Steve Woodford, the outgoing Executive Chairman. Steve commented:
Having led The Haslams Group for over three decades, it was important to me for our buyer to be a custodian of our business, building on our existing successes and nurturing the exceptional expertise across the Group. Foxtons was the perfect fit and I’m looking forward to seeing how both businesses will excel after combining forces. With the ability to leverage the power of Foxtons’ platform, I’m extremely confident the business will go from strength to strength.
Haslams Group’ Managing Director Dan Channer added:
This is a very exciting new chapter for the whole team. The photo below is from our all-hands meeting yesterday where Guy Gittins, Foxtons CEO, and some of his team spoke to and met all our staff.
