Grant Stanley celebrates 60 years in business with exciting merger with JMC Chartered Surveyors

In celebration of its landmark 60th year in business, Grant Stanley is proud to announce the expansion of its services through the formal merger with JMC Chartered Surveyors. This exciting partnership will enable the combined firms to leverage their collective expertise, broaden their geographical reach, and enhance the range of services available to both new and existing clients around the globe.

Founded in 1965, originally as Stanley & Co and trading in its current form since the early eighties, Grant Stanley has built a reputation for delivering exceptional property services to a diverse range of clients, including developers, investors, and corporations.  Over the years, the company has become a trusted name in commercial property consultancy, known for its professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.  Today, Grant Stanley operates with a global presence, serving clients across the Far East, India, Europe, Africa and beyond.

Two years ago, Grant Stanley was acquired by JMC Chartered Surveyors, a well-respected multi-disciplinary UK-based firm specialising in commercial property surveying, building consultancy, and valuation services.  Since then, the collaboration has resulted in significant growth, driving the development of new service offerings and a wider international client base. With the official merger, the two teams are poised to further strengthen their market position and provide an expanded suite of services to clients worldwide.

A Stronger Future Together

“We are thrilled to mark our 60th anniversary with this exciting development,” said Jacob Cope, Managing Director of the JMC Group, parent company of Grant Stanley. “Our decision to formally merge Grant Stanley with JMC Chartered Surveyors is a natural next step as we continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of the market. The synergies between our firms are clear, and this merger will allow us to provide even more comprehensive solutions to our clients. Together, we’ll be able to combine the strengths of both teams to deliver even greater value, expand geographically, and continue driving innovation in the property services sector.”

The merger will see the two companies integrate their operations, trading under the Grant Stanley banner, offering a broader range of services in areas such as commercial real estate, building consultancy, asset management, project management, valuations, and more.  By combining the extensive knowledge and resources of both firms, clients will benefit from an even higher level of expertise, tailored solutions, and a more expansive network of professionals around the world.

Global Growth and Enhanced Client Offering

The strategic alliance between Grant Stanley and JMC Chartered Surveyors will also support the companies’ ongoing efforts to expand geographically, with a shared vision of providing clients with seamless, high-quality services across key global markets. The partnership will help the companies cater to an increasing demand for specialist services in property consultancy, particularly in emerging markets. “We are excited about the future and the opportunity to build on the fantastic growth we’ve experienced in the past two years,” said Ben Berlin Director of JMC Chartered Surveyors and head of the Manchester office. “By joining forces with Grant Stanley, we are able to offer our clients access to an even broader range of services, supported by a team of experienced professionals.”

The combined company will operate under the established name of Grant Stanley. With a shared commitment to excellence and a passion for delivering innovative, client-focused solutions, the merged companies are well-positioned to lead the property services industry into the future.
