A top 40 UK accountancy firm has completed its entry into the South East with the £200,000 office refurbishment and rebranding of McBrides Accountants.
The company officially launches as DJH Bexley today, marking the occasion with the transformation of its Nexus House office in Sidcup, including updating meeting rooms, comprehensive IT and technology improvements, and a new break-out area for team use and client events.
The rebrand represents the final stage of a ten-month integration process since the 53-year-old practice, which employs 61 people, joined DJH in April 2025.
Scott Heath, Chief Executive Officer at DJH, said: “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.”
Since joining the top 40 firm, DJH Bexley has secured several notable new clients in legal and energy, while cementing its reputation as a specialist provider of auditing and accounting services to clients in professional services, law, property and shipping.
The practice also now offers clients access to DJH’s specialist services, including capital allowances, R&D tax credits, HR and IT support.
Tanya Hamilton, Managing Partner at DJH Bexley, said: “It has been a great ten 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 twelve 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 Bexley is now recruiting across several areas to support growth, including corporate finance.
The practice offers a full range of accounts, audit, business advisory and tax services to businesses across more than fifteen industries, with a strong reputation for helping clients create and operate tax-efficient, compliant and profitable businesses.
Tanya went on to add: “Operationally, sharing resources across offices has already been a big success with support flowing both ways. With the backing of DJH, we are also investing in marketing to help raise the profile of the brand across the region.”
Following sixteen acquisitions in four years, DJH has grown into a multidisciplinary team of 750 people across 16 offices in the Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire and Dublin.
The partnership with McBrides has created further opportunities for team members to develop their careers and gain experience across specialist service lines.
