DJH appoints new director to drive growth

DJH, one of the North West’s fastest-growing accountancy and professional services firms, has appointed Colette Lennon as director to drive growth at its Altrincham office.

Colette brings nearly 30 years of accountancy experience, having worked in Brussels, in Ireland, and most recently as client director at Bennett Brooks. 

She aims to grow revenues by ten per cent to £2.4 million in her first year, focusing on specialist tax, estate planning, HR support and strengthening local business networks.

Colette said: “There is so much more we can be doing in Altrincham and Hale and we’re relishing the opportunity to become part of the business fabric of the area.

“As part of DJH, we have access to so many more specialist services in tax planning, capital allowances, R&D, estate planning and wills, and corporate finance under one roof. 

“This not only enhances the service we offer our existing clients but will hopefully help us attract new ones.

“I really want to raise our profile in the local area, and we are encouraging our team to play an active role in community events, volunteering and using their skills to benefit others.”

DJH has expanded rapidly, completing 13 acquisitions in four years and now employs 640 people across the UK.

The Altrincham office, part of DJH since September 2023, supports SMEs, large companies and private clients with audit, accounting, tax and advisory services. 

It is known for expertise in education, property, manufacturing, and not-for-profit sectors.

James Beardmore, chief operating officer at DJH, added: “It is great to have Colette on board. 

“She has a real passion for delivering the best possible service for clients and creating the best possible working environment for our team.

“This, I’m sure, will position our Altrincham office as go-to partners for business owners and private clients in South Manchester, playing a key role in our expansion across the North West.”
