We have continued our growth across the South East with the addition of Kent-based Aggarwal & Co Chartered Accountants, incorporating Foreman Waller & Edwards & Co, with offices in Rainham, Sheerness and Ashford.

Led by Anil Aggarwal, the firm supports a wide range of owner-managed businesses from its offices in Ashford, Sheerness and Rainham, with a reputation built on long-standing relationships and consistent, practical advice.

The team will continue to operate from their existing offices, working with the same staff and clients, now supported by the wider bk plus group.

This latest move builds on our growing presence in the South East, alongside our established teams in Chiswick and High Wycombe, strengthening our support for businesses across the region while continuing to deliver advice locally.

Shaun Knight, CEO of bk plus, said:

“We’ve had a strong start to the year, and bringing Aggarwal & Co into the group is another great step forward for us.

What stood out straight away was the strength of the relationships Anil and his team have built with their clients. That local trust is exactly what we look for.

For our clients across Kent, the most important thing to know is that nothing changes day to day. You’ll still work with the same people who know your business.

As we continue to grow across the South East, we’re able to offer more to clients while keeping that local approach.”

Anil Aggarwal, Senior Partner of Aggarwal & Co, said:

“This was an important decision for us. Our focus has always been on our clients and the relationships we’ve built over time.

We wanted to find a partner that would allow us to keep that approach, while giving us the ability to offer more when our clients need it.

Nothing changes for our clients in terms of who they deal with or how we work together. What has changed is the range of support we can now put in front of them.”

We continue to grow our national presence, with more than 55 offices and over 900 people across the UK, supporting SMEs and owner-managed businesses with advice that stays close to them.

Every firm that joins us strengthens what we can offer our clients while keeping decision-making and client relationships close to the people who know them best. As we grow, we remain committed to combining local relationships with wider expertise and support.
