Westcotts strengthens agricultural team and regional footprint with acquisition of Wiltshire-based consultancy firm

Leading South West chartered accountants and business advisers Westcotts has announced the acquisition of agricultural specialists Douglas Green Consulting Ltd, 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 business, based in Wiltshire, comprises a team of experienced agricultural advisers and support staff and supports a wide range of clients across the South West.

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.

This move strengthens Westcotts’ already considerable presence in the region’s rural and agricultural sector, enhancing the breadth of expertise and support available to farming clients across the South West.

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.”

Douglas Green, founder of Douglas Green Consulting, 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 team members based across 17 offices throughout Devon, Somerset and now Wiltshire, offering a personal and local service, comprehensive accountancy, business and financial advice to clients throughout the South West.
