The Folgate Partnership has announced the acquisition of Duncan Pocock (Holdings) Ltd.

The Partnership said the new business, whose Duncan Pocock brand will be retained, will become a regional hub for its operations because of its position as one of the largest independent brokers in the South East.

This acquisition follows the purchase of Leeds-based Smithson Mason Group that was acquired in April this year.

The Folgate Partnership's group chief executive, Andy Homer, said: "We are delighted that Duncan Pocock will be joining the Folgate team, it is exactly the kind of quality business and management that we are looking for to help build our Partnership."

John Marshgreen will continue as managing director and Peter Dessent as deputy managing director of Duncan Pocock.
