DJH completes McBrides rebrand
An accountancy firm has strengthened its South East presence following a six-figure office refurbishment and rebrand.
McBrides Accountants has officially become DJH Bexley after a £200,000 transformation of its Nexus House office in Sidcup.
The refurbishment included upgraded meeting rooms, enhanced IT systems and new break-out space for staff and client events.
Bosses say the rebrand completes a ten-month integration process after the 53-year-old practice, which employs 61 people, joined DJH in April 2025.
Since then, the firm has secured new clients in sectors including legal and energy, while expanding access to specialist services such as 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.
“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.”
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.”
Stoke-on-Trent headquartered DJH, which has completed sixteen acquisitions in four years, now employs 750 people across 16 offices and is recruiting to support further growth.
Scott Heath, chief executive 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.”
