The story

Symonds was established in 1960 and Capita was formed within the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in 1984.

In 1995, Symonds acquired Travers Morgan - expanding into transport, engineering and environmental consultancy services.

Capita Symonds originated as a merger of Capita Property Consultancy Ltd and Symonds Group, following the acquisition of Symonds by Capita in 2004. Capita's property companies had been combined into one organisation in 1998, initially named Capita Property Services Ltd.

In 1999 Capita Property Services acquired the companies MPM Adams and Edward Roscoe Associates. In 2001/2 they formed strategic partnerships with Cumbria County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and four Welsh local authorities.

Following the formation of Capita Symonds, between 2004 and 2012 they acquired the following companies:
