DJH is excited to announce the addition of a historic accountancy practice to its rapidly expanding group, as it takes another step towards becoming one of the top 20 UK firms in this sector.
The group, which now employs more than 600 people across thirteen offices in the North West, Yorkshire, the South East and the Midlands, has acquired Nicklin, a business that has been delivering expert financial and accountancy services to the Black Country for more than 90 years.
This partnership strengthens DJH’s presence in the West Midlands, building on its existing offices in Stoke-on-Trent and Walsall, with a 230-strong team now in position across the region to support SMEs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
“This is a great move for our team and our clients, who will now have access to the wider range of services and resources DJH offer,” explained Mark Howell, Managing Director of Nicklin, which is located in Halesowen.
“We’ve been serving the Black Country for many decades and we’re fiercely passionate about giving companies, owners and GP surgeries transparent financial support to help them grow and create jobs across the region.”
He continued: “Joining DJH gives us the autonomy to continue doing what we do best, with the benefit of additional capacity and access to experts in corporate finance, commercial funding, HR and private client planning, such as wills and probates.
“There is also the additional infrastructure that comes with being part of a group. I’m really excited that having more operational support will release our team of 38 accountancy experts to spend even more time with our clients.”
As a private equity-backed firm supported by Tenzing, DJH is one of the UK’s fastest-growing professional services and accountancy groups. Following a series of twelve acquisitions over four years, the group has grown into a multidisciplinary team with offices located outside the West Midlands in Altrincham, Bexley, Bury, Chester, Derby, Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester, Nantwich, and Sheffield.
CEO Scott Heath added: “We are firmly committed to supporting businesses in the West Midlands, so – when the opportunity came up to partner with one of the Black Country’s most respected and longest standing firms – we jumped at the chance.
“Continuity is extremely important to us, with members of the senior leadership team agreeing to stay on to lead Nicklin in this exciting next chapter of its story.”
