Accountancy firm DJH has accelerated its expansion into the South East and London with a £200,000 office refurbishment and rebrand.
DJH, in Stoke-on-Trent, acquired McBrides Chartered Accountants in the London borough of Bexley last April and has now launched as DJH Bexley.
Work on the office in Sidcup has included updating the meeting rooms, comprehensive IT and technology improvements, and a new break-out area for team use and client events.
DJH Bexley has secured several ‘notable’ new clients in legal and energy since joining the business and is now recruiting across several areas to support growth.
Managing partner Tanya Hamilton said: “It has been a great 10 months getting to know and understand the wider DJH team, introducing our clients to the additional service lines we can now provide.
“The shared values of exceptional service and industry knowledge have made the transition into the group a seamless process and the rebrand is the final element of a journey that is putting us on track for growth over the next 12 months.”
She added: “Our offices now carry all the DJH branding and, importantly, have state-of-the-art client meeting rooms and a fantastic break-out space. This will be perfect for our team to relax in, as well providing a place where we can host future networking and seminar events.”
DJH CEO Scott Heath added: “McBrides was a hugely strategic acquisition for us and marks an important first foray into the South East and London.
“It has been a very good decision, giving us an immediate footprint to increase the DJH reach whilst reinforcing the excellent work that Tanya and her senior management team continue to deliver.
“The change in branding will help accelerate marketing efforts, as we look to grow DJH in the region.”
DJH, which is headquartered at Festival Park, has made 16 acquisitions in four years and now has offices in the Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire and Dublin.
