An accountancy firm in Maidstone has been acquired by the ever-expanding Crowe UK as it looks to expand its coverage in Kent.
Dendy Neville, which employs 18 staff at its Tonbridge Road site, will now become part of Crowe’s Kent office which already has outlets in both Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells.
As a result of the move, Dendy Neville’s three directors – David Hill, Andrew Perkins and Paul Gitt – will also become partners at Crowe UK.
David Hill said: “We have worked closely with Crowe Kent for over 20 years and have known some of the Kent partners for much longer.
“Joining forces with Crowe seemed a natural progression in light of our common commitment to high standards in client support.”
Nigel Bostock, chief executive, at accountancy, audit, tax, advisory and risk firm Crowe, said: “This acquisition is an important step in our growth strategy and expands our footprint in the Kent region.
“It is pleasing to see that Dendy Neville has chosen to partner with Crowe as an alternative to private equity investment, trusting Crowe as the best home for their people and clients going forward.”
