Jack Wilson, managing director of Derbyshire-based Wilson Estate Agents, has established All North Group and completed its first acquisition, Fidler Taylor. The deal brings the Matlock and Ashbourne estate agency and chartered surveying business into the newly formed group.
Expansion targets North and Midlands
Wilson is now targeting further acquisitions across Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, the Midlands and Staffordshire. In particular, the group is focusing on established independent agencies. The expansion coincides with the 80th anniversary of Wilson Estate Agents, which was founded by Wilson’s great-grandfather, Leslie Wilson, in Bolsover in 1946.
Under the new structure, acquired businesses will retain their trading names and local identities. All North Group will provide shared management, technology, marketing and administrative support.
First acquisition completed
Fidler Taylor operates from offices in Matlock and Ashbourne. Its services include residential sales, lettings, commercial property and chartered surveying. The acquisition marks the first step in All North Group’s regional expansion strategy.
Alongside its acquisition plans, the group intends to invest in AI, digital marketing, staff training and operational systems. Wilson believes independent agencies can benefit from shared resources without losing their local presence.
Further acquisitions planned
All North Group is also seeking discussions with independent agency owners considering retirement, succession planning or a sale. Wilson initially pursued a career in marketing before joining the family business. Since then, he has helped expand its lettings portfolio, introduce new systems and develop its management team.
All North Group has not disclosed how much it paid for Fidler Taylor, nor has it announced a target for the number of businesses it intends to buy.
