Accountancy consolidator Sumer completes 11th acquisition

Accountancy group Sumer has made headlines once again with its 11th acquisition in the UK since its inception last year. The Gatwick-based company has recently acquired DPC Chartered Accountants, a prominent firm based in Staffordshire.

DPC Chartered Accountants, located in Stoke-on-Trent, offers a wide range of services including audit, accounts, tax advice, payroll, compliance counsel, and other business services. Sumer’s Chief Executive, Warren Mead, praised the firm for its dominance in the accounting sector in Staffordshire and highlighted the region’s potential for economic growth.

Mead expressed Sumer’s commitment to partnering with like-minded individuals who prioritize client satisfaction and employee well-being. He emphasized the synergies between Sumer and DPC, noting that their combined strengths would benefit local businesses and contribute to their prosperity.

Michelle Coates, Director of DPC Chartered Accountants, echoed Mead’s sentiments, emphasizing the shared values and ethics between the two firms. She highlighted Sumer’s track record in championing diversity and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, making them an ideal partner for DPC as they continue to excel in serving the Stoke-on-Trent community.

Founded in 2023, Sumer Group has quickly established itself as a major player in the UK accountancy sector through a series of strategic acquisitions. With over 1,300 employees spread across various hubs in the UK, the group has significantly expanded its reach and capabilities.

In addition to DPC Chartered Accountants, Sumer’s portfolio of acquisitions includes well-known firms such as Carpenter Box, Cowgills, EQ Chartered Accountants, and others. The group’s strategy includes providing support for acquired firms to pursue their own bolt-on deals, as demonstrated by RT Marke’s recent acquisition of Kirk Hills Chartered Accountants.
