Advisory firm bolsters offering with acquisition of Wiltshire consultancy

South West chartered accountants and business advisers Westcotts has acquired agricultural specialists Douglas Green Consulting as part of its continued investment in strategic growth across the region.

Founded and led by Douglas Green, the consultancy has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, independent advice to farmers and landowners.

The team will continue to operate from their Wiltshire base and will work closely alongside Westcotts’ existing agricultural consultancy division, led by Westcotts head of agriculture Tom Stuckey and agricultural director Pete Brown.

Shona Godefroy, Westcotts managing partner, said: “We are delighted to welcome Douglas Green and his team to Westcotts. Their extensive sector expertise and strong client relationships complement our existing agricultural services perfectly.

“This acquisition reflects our commitment to supporting rural communities and reinforces our strategy to invest in the growth of Westcotts and our specialist teams helping our clients and the wider region to grow and thrive.”

Green said: “Joining Westcotts marks an exciting new chapter for us. We share a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the farming industry and this partnership will allow us to provide even greater value to clients, backed by the strength and resources of a larger firm. We are looking forward to working alongside Westcotts’ highly regarded agricultural team and continuing to build on the trusted relationships we have developed across the region over many years.”

Westcotts has more than 280 staff based across 17 offices throughout Devon, Somerset and now Wiltshire.
