Office interior design and fit-out specialist, DENTON has been acquired by Bowmer + Kirkland Group, a UK privately owned construction and development group to power its next stage of growth
The move marks a major milestone in DENTON’s 30th year of trading. DENTON, which has grown organically to a turnover exceeding £40 million, will now benefit from the backing and resources of a £1.25 billion national group.
Founded in 1996 and owned by its directors and staff since inception, DENTON has built a strong reputation for delivering CAT A, CAT A+ and CAT B fit-outs that inspire, motivate, and drive value for clients. Under Bowmer + Kirkland Group ownership, the company will be positioned to take on larger and more complex projects, while maintaining the high standards of service and creativity that clients expect.
Bowmer & Kirkland, formed over 100 years ago and still privately owned, is a family business with a strong commitment to responsible operations, client satisfaction, and investment in people. The acquisition reflects the alignment of values between the two companies and a shared ambition for sustainable, long-term growth.
Mike Halewood, DENTON Founder said of the acquisition: “This is a hugely exciting new chapter for DENTON. Over the past 30 years we’ve built a business we’re incredibly proud of, being acquired by Bowmer + Kirkland Group gives us the scale and stability to deliver even greater value for our clients. Our commitment to design excellence, responsible operations, and creating workplaces that support health, wellbeing and collaboration remain unchanged.”
Jack Kirkland, Bowmer + Kirkland Chairman commented: “We are delighted to welcome DENTON into the Bowmer + Kirkland Group. Their track record of growth, creativity, and client focus makes them a natural fit with our values. As part of the Bowmer & Kirland Group, we can expand opportunities, deliver larger and more ambitious projects, and continue to raise standards in the office design and fit-out sector.”
