Francesca Jus-Burke, Claire Banks, Stephen Jarvis, Isobel Ryan-Dalton and Nicolle Trust of our Corporate & Commercial team were delighted to have acted for Hawkins & Associates (Hawkins) on their acquisition of two established quantity surveyor businesses A. Lamb Associates Limited and its subsidiary Morham & Brotchie Limited. The deal completed on Monday 31 March 2025.
Hawkins was established in Cambridge in 1980 and has grown to have a global presence with offices in Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore, and in key locations across the UK & Ireland. By combining strengths and expertise, the acquisition builds on Hawkins’ capabilities and services as they can now provide both technical and quantum and delay on the same case, giving clients unparallelled service in the market. Greenwoods is proud to have supported Hawkins in this stage of their ongoing and ambitious growth journey.
Francesca Jus-Burke, Managing Associate, Corporate & Commercial, said:
“The team enjoyed working on this project with Hawkins, who were a fantastic client. All parties pulled together to get the transaction agreed in a remarkably short time frame. We are thrilled to have been part of Hawkins’ strategic expansion.”
Alex Chambers, Finance Director, Hawkins, said:
“It has been a pleasure working with the Greenwoods team on this project from initial inception through to completion… the team has been both pragmatic and diligent whilst doing their upmost to ensure the deadlines were met for the benefit of our employee shareholders.”
