DJH Mitten Clarke acquires Lyon Griffiths

DJH Mitten Clarke has announced its acquisition of the Nantwich-based accountancy practice Lyon Griffiths.

The news follows DJH Mitten Clarke’s recent announcement of the acquisition of dental accountants, Minford Dental, who have joined our specialist team at the Chester office.

Lyon Griffiths decision to join DJH Mitten Clarke comes as part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing the business advisory service through technology, whilst supporting its growth plans in the North of England. 

The new partnership will provide the firm with access to in-house specialist services such as R&D, capital allowances, commercial funding and corporate finance, which will further heighten the advice and support offered to clients. 

The integration will also open greater opportunities for the Nantwich team through increased investment into training, development, recruitment and wellbeing. 

In the coming months, following a rebrand, Lyon Griffiths will unite under the DJH Mitten Clarke banner, becoming the Nantwich office for the group. 

James Stokes, MD of Lyon Griffiths, will continue to lead the Nantwich team with ‘on the ground’ support from Stoke-on-Trent headquartered DJH Mitten Clarke. 

Stokes said: “Just like Lyon Griffiths, DJH Mitten Clarke is a relationship-focused, technology-driven, advisory firm that takes a forward-thinking approach to deliver value for its clients. After more than 90 years in business, we’re extremely excited about our next chapter and the opportunities that will be created for both our team and our clients.” 

James Beardmore, COO of DJH Mitten Clarke, added: “Our partnership with Lyon Griffiths was a natural move with Nantwich being just up the road from our Stoke-on-Trent HQ. Our aim is to further solidify our commitment to providing tailored solutions that empower businesses to succeed.”
