Managing Director of GPW, Philip Worman said “In this pivotal time in the global economy, the two firms will provide an unrivalled offering to clients seeking to drive opportunities and minimise risk. I am grateful to Andrew and the rest of the CRS team for their help with the transaction.”

Corporate partner Andrew Clarke commented “We are delighted to have worked on the deal with Philip and his team. This is a significant move for GPW, and we look forward to seeing it go from strength to strength under J.S. Held.”

The team was led by Andrew Clarke and supported by Caroline Carter, Marc-Us Ong, Francesca Charlton, and Graham Crocker.
