Accountancy practice Shaw Gibbs has expanded its footprint by merging with UK-based accounting firm Langdowns DFK.

The move aligns with Shaw Gibbs’ strategy to expand its presence as a ‘leading accountancy and business advisory firm’ in central and southern England.

Langdowns DFK has three offices in Hampshire.

Langdowns partner Neil Raynsford said: “With a history of more than 70 years, it was important to us to build on success by creating a union with a larger practice who work in the same way we do.

“We have known Shaw Gibbs for some time and have been impressed with their journey. The fact that they provide autonomy for the companies in their group to achieve great things with their backing was a huge appeal to us and we can see a bright future together.”

The combined entity now boasts 54 partners and a workforce of 550 across multiple locations.
