Following the acquisition, FRP is planning to launch a sixth service pillar, FRP Real Estate Advisory, aiming to combine Arc & Co’s expertise with the FRP’s existing real estate experience to deliver an offering focussed on helping boards, lenders and advisors in the sector create value and manage risk.

Arc & Co’s two directors and co-founders, Andrew Robinson and Edward Horn-Smith, will join FRP as partners, along with all 18 members of the broker’s team as part of the transaction.

The transaction marks FRP’s fifteenth acquisition since its IPO in March 2020, and follows its acquisition of One Advisory Group in May 2025.

Commenting on the transaction, Geoff Rowley, CEO at FRP, said: “Arc & Co’s expertise broadens our existing real estate capabilities. In launching FRP Real Estate Advisory as a service pillar we bring these specialists together in order to better serve clients with their Real Estate requirements.
