Alliotts LLP Merges with The Shaw Gibbs Group
With our combined expertise and resources, we aim to build on our existing strengths.
We are pleased to announce that Alliotts LLP has merged with The Shaw Gibbs Group.
This strategic and carefully considered merger is aimed at expanding our capabilities whilst we continue delivering a quality service to our clients.
What Does This Merger Mean for Our Clients?
Primarily, this merger allows us to enhance our services. It gives us access to greater investment in technology, additional specialist resources, and the expertise needed to keep pace with changes in regulations and reporting standards. We also gain expanded back-office support, helping us maintain a cost-effective service for all our clients.
Business as Usual: No Changes for Clients or Staff
Although we’ve merged, Alliotts will continue to operate as the firm you know. Our clients will remain clients of Alliotts, and our team will continue as before. In short, it’s business as usual.
Our Offices and International Presence
We are now fully settled into our new office at 3 London Square in Guildford, alongside our established presence in London. This move reinforces our commitment to serving clients from these key locations.
On the international front, we remain dedicated members of the Alliott Global Alliance. This commitment means we will continue to provide our clients access to international advice and services through our global network.
Peter O’Connell, CEO of Shaw Gibbs, shared his perspective on the merger:
“Alliotts ‘finesse-led’ approach is clear in the way that they run their business, their approach to ESG and, the great emphasis they place on understanding their clients individual and business needs. By joining forces with Alliotts, we are bringing together two firms with a shared vision of delivering exceptional service and treating our people, our stakeholders and each other with respect. They bring an impressive experienced senior team to the Shaw Gibbs Group, and I look forward to working with them.”
Looking Ahead
We see this merger as an opportunity to further enhance our services for clients and provide new opportunities for our team. With our combined expertise and resources, we aim to build on our existing strengths.
We appreciate our clients’ continued trust and support and look forward to this exciting new chapter as Alliotts LLP, now supported by The Shaw Gibbs Group.
