Dyke Ruscoe was established around the late 1920s and has since this time been a local presence in Ludlow, Tenbury Wells and Craven Arms. As part of its own succession and growth strategy, the firm had for some time been considering options for the future.
When asked about the merger Carl Davies, director of Streets Dyke Ruscoe based in its Ludlow office, said: “We are delighted to have merged with Streets, whilst we considered a number of options, we believe that we have found our perfect partner. The Streets philosophy and outlook is similar to ours and they were keen to retain our sense of being a part of the local community and standing something that has been established over the years.
“It was also important for us to continue to be able to provide our services in a relatively unchanged environment with the same great team engaging with our clients.”
Under the new merger, the firm will now be able to offer a greater breadth of services, including more specialisms like personal and corporate tax advice, banking and finance.
Davies added: “We are also especially pleased to announce that following the merger we are now able to service the needs of clients who require an audit as these can now be looked after by Streets dedicated audit team and practice which acts nationally for groups, large companies, subsidiaries and charities.”
The group has also announced that Charlotte Beamond has joined the directorship of the company, following the retirement of Peter Reynolds.
Looking at what the merger means to Streets, the firm’s managing partner, Paul Tutin, said: “We are delighted to have Carl Davies along with fellow directors Brydie Prime and Charlotte Beamond and their colleagues join the practice. It is especially pleasing to see and experience the mutual benefits and synergy to be had through firms like ours coming together.
“Whilst this year has seen our significant growth come about through the merger of firms located in Yorkshire, the East of England and the South West we are particularly pleased to have ventured further into the West Midlands. This is in keeping with our strategic intent to be a truly national and even UK practice.”
