ES Group has acquired Jones Lang LaSalle’s machinery and business assets team.

The nine-strong division will join three different offices of the ES Group, the collective name for Edward Symmons, Storeys Edward Symmons and Aaron Fox.

Four staff will join Edward Symmons in Manchester – taking the total headcount to 32 – four in Nottingham and one in Leeds.

The property adviser said the deal meant it now had the UK’s largest specialist machinery and business assets team.

Colin Jennings, head of the Manchester office, said: “We warmly welcome our new colleagues to the firm and are confident that they will fit seamlessly at ES Group, bringing skillsets and a geographical spread that complements our existing MBA offer.”

Mark Stupples, UK chief operating officer at Jones Lang LaSalle, said: “The individuals moving to ES Group are true specialists in their field and on behalf of the firm I would like to thank them for their loyal and committed contributions to King Sturge and more recently to Jones Lang LaSalle.

“The transfer to ES Group is a positive step that sees them join a firm with an industry leading reputation in the machinery and business assets space. We look forward to maintaining strong business relations with the practice moving forward.”
