This move forms part of RLB's UK growth strategy.

Russell Bolton, RLB Managing Partner responsible for the region, said: "We are delighted to be joined by the fantastic team at Todd & Ledson. This is a company that shares the same business values, culture and professional standards as us at RLB.

Stuart Wands from Todd & Ledson added: "The integration of our two organisations made perfect sense as it expands the services we offer locally but also broadens the opportunities for us to offer our services to clients on a regional and national basis."
