We have acquired Derby-based accountants, Underwood Green in a deal that sees us expand into a new location, broadening our service offering to clients across the Midlands.
With locations across Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, London, and now Derbyshire, the acquisition is part of our largest-ever period of growth, coinciding with our 100 year anniversary.
Underwood Green will rebrand, with all team members including directors Gary Underwood and Richard Green remaining in their roles and in their existing premises at Pride Park in Derby.
Damon Brain, CEO of Duncan & Toplis, said:
“This is a very exciting time for Duncan & Toplis, as it is the first time our group will have an office in Derbyshire. We’ve supported clients in Derby and Derbyshire for many years but, with the acquisition of Underwood Green, we’ll be welcoming a fantastic new team who are based in the city.
“Gary, Richard and the Underwood Green team have a terrific reputation in the area and we’re two very like-minded businesses. I’m looking forward to welcoming all team members to Duncan & Toplis and providing them with great career opportunities, at the same time as taking great care of clients they love working with.”
Gary Underwood, director and co-founder of Underwood Green, said:
“Joining forces with Duncan & Toplis - one of the largest accounting and business advisers in the UK - is a great opportunity for us and our clients. Being a part of Duncan & Toplis, we’ll be able to offer a wider range of services and even greater support.”
Richard Green, director and co-founder of Underwood Green, added:
“Becoming a part of Duncan & Toplis is a thrilling step for us - their values and ambition align closely with our own. We're excited about the incredible benefits this will bring, for our clients and for our team, who will gain fresh opportunities to grow within an ambitious and fast-growing group."
