Spurling Cannon Expands Into Tonbridge With Acquisition Of Cantium Accountants

Kent-based Chartered Certified Accountants, Spurling Cannon, have expanded their regional presence with the acquisition of Cantium Accountants, a long-established firm in Tonbridge, marking the opening of their third office in the county.
Founded in 2002 by Andrew Bradley, Cantium Accountants built a strong local reputation for personal, reliable service. Following the acquisition, the firm’s team will remain in place, ensuring continuity for clients. The office will now be led by Sam Graham, one of Spurling Cannon’s Directors, who will oversee the firm’s growth in the west Kent area.
“From our first conversation, it was clear that Spurling Cannon shared our values,” said Andrew Bradley. “They have the same focus on client relationships and quality service that have always been central to Cantium. I’m confident our clients will benefit from the broader resources and expertise of the Spurling Cannon team.”
Founded in 2003 by Jonathan Spurling and Andrew Cannon, Spurling Cannon has grown organically and through strategic acquisitions, including W Fowles & Co of Broadstairs and Alexandra Baker of Cliftonville. The firm now employs over 70 staff across Ramsgate, Ashford and Tonbridge, with a turnover exceeding £4 million.
“Tonbridge represents a key strategic location for us,” said Sam Graham. “It strengthens our coverage across Kent and brings us closer to many of our clients in the west of the county. We see strong potential for growth here, and we’re investing in expanding the local team.”
With nine directors and a growing client base across sectors including farming, legal, care, not-for-profit, construction and retail, Spurling Cannon continues to move towards joining the UK’s Top 100 firms.
This acquisition fits perfectly with our vision of sustainable, relationship-led growth,” said Andrew Cannon Co-Founder. “It’s about combining scale and structure with the personal service that defines who we are.
