The chartered surveyors has acquired TPF Retail, it was announced today.
The move provides the platform for the firm to embark on further expansion across London and the wider south east region.

Nick Wint, partner at Johnson Fellows, said: “This is a very exciting day in the history of Johnson Fellows, as we gain a foothold in London for the first time. TPF Retail is a niche retail consultancy owned and managed by the well known and respected Gerard Finn and Mark Tindale, who will become partners of Johnson Fellows and head up the new office.
“This is a hugely important move and signifies the beginning of a new and exciting era for the business.
“A lot of our clients are based in London, so having an office local to them means business can be carried out more smoothly and communication lines will be greatly improved.
“It’s another milestone in our journey to become a truly national consultancy, and from here we can charge full steam ahead with the plans to expand across the entire south east region.”
The acquisition will also provide the opportunity to appoint more people into the business, as Johnson Fellows’ team continues to grow.
