TMDP swoops for historic Leicester firm

Architectural design and property consultants TMDP has bought one of Leicester’s oldest chartered building and quantity surveying firms, Rose and Cooper.

The announcement comes after TMDP’s relocation last month to larger premises in Ashby Magna, Lutterworth which has provided the space to expand the consultancy and increase the team by 30% over the next twelve months.

Scott Moore, Managing Partner TMDP said: “These are exciting times for TMDP and we are delighted that we’ve been able to acquire Rose & Cooper just weeks after moving to our new head-quarters.

“As an extremely well established practice with a number of high profile clients, Rose & Cooper is the perfect addition to our growing consultancy. By bringing the firm under the TMDP umbrella we are now able to provide chartered building surveying services as part of the comprehensive package of property and construction solutions available to our clients.

“TMDP already works with a number of blue chip clients across several industry sectors including food and drink, residential, commercial, civil and industrial and with Rose & Cooper’s extensive experience within education and public sector organisations, we now have the in-house expertise to confidently expand our portfolio further.

Former managing director of Rose & Cooper, Robert Foster who will be employed to oversee the transition, said: “I am delighted with the acquisition and have no doubt that this is a positive move for Rose & Cooper and its clients. TMDP is one of the fastest growing and most innovative consultancies in the East Midlands and I am convinced that our established client base will be in safe hands.”
