Acctim Clocks is thrilled to announce the acquisition of fine art manufacturer Brookpace Lascelles.
Since 1928, Acctim has been putting great design and innovation at the heart of everything it does, and bills itself as the UK’s most successful clock company. The merger with Brookpace Lascelles will further strengthen the business and bring together two great British brands under one roof.
Acctim managing director Kevin Leonard said: “For more than 35 years, Brookpace has been transforming interiors with one of the most comprehensive collections of wall art and clocks. The diversity in collections, and their constant quest for using quality materials has impressed us for a long time, and we are delighted to secure the UK manufacturing and take the company forward into the next 35 years and beyond. We are excited to be contributing to the vibrant heritage of UK manufacturing.”
“Joining forces with Acctim is an exciting new chapter for Brookpace. Both companies are iconic British brands and together we are combining more than 130 years of experience in our respective sectors”

By utilising Acctim’s innovation and distribution, we can realise a new potential and reach more customers than ever before. I cannot wait to get started.”
The acquisition comes at a time when Acctim continues to scale, having doubled sales in the past two years alone. The company said: ‘With a dedicated sales team working with national and independent retailers, and a growing presence in Europe and the US, now is the perfect time to bring a greater offering to the industry.’
