A 90-year-old Halesowen accountancy practice has been bought out by private equity-backed DJH.

The acquisition of Nicklin strengthens DJH’s presence in the West Midlands, adding to its offices in Stoke-on-Trent and Walsall.

“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,” said Mark Howell, managing director of Nicklin.

“We’ve been serving the Black Country for more than 90 years 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.”

Backed by private equity investor Tenzing

DJH, backed by private equity investor Tenzing, is one of the UK’s fastest-growing professional services and accountancy groups.

With 12 acquisitions in four years, the firm has grown into a multidisciplinary team of 600 people with offices in the West Midlands as well as in Altrincham, Bexley, Bury, Chester, Derby, Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester, Nantwich and Sheffield.

Scott Heath, CEO of DJH, said: “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.”
