Geoden Agency and Herdens merge to form GH Consultants Limited

(1st December 2009) The existing successful legal agencies, Geoden Agency and Herdens are today announcing their intention to merge as from the 1st January 2010. The two firms have worked together for a number of years and see this as an opportunity to rationalise operations and administration whilst providing the opportunity to expand in to new business areas.

The new firm will be known as GH Consultants Ltd, although the existing trading titles will be retained. Geoden Agency will continue to build on over 20 years of accident and insurance investigations, whilst Herdens will handle the firms’ tracing, process serving and other investigation tasks.

As part of this exciting development, the existing Haywards Heath office in Sussex will be relocated within the town to allow for an expansion of staff numbers to support the two agencies’ increasing workload. This will then become the main administration office for the merged business, with a satellite office being retained in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Geoff Dent, Senior Partner at Geoden Agency said “Having spent several years in managerial positions with insurers and law firms I originally saw a need for a quality investigation service covering the South East of England. Within 5 years we had expanded operations across the country and are looking at continuing growth some 20 years later. Due to demand from our clients we need to expand so here we go into a new and exciting chapter.”
