Dains opens new office in Leicester, UK

Dains, a UK-based accounting and business advisory firm, has opened a new regional office in Leicester.

The 10,845ft² site, situated at Lakeside House within Grove Park, is intended to facilitate the company’s planned expansion across the East Midlands.

The new office will house more than 100 staff members, who were previously based across Leicester and Rugby.

By unifying its Leicester and Rugby workforces under one roof, the firm aims to enhance internal cooperation, streamline client advisory services.

“The investment enables Dains to bring together a broader range of specialists in one location, driving a joined-up approach across its accounting, audit, tax, corporate finance and wider business advisory services,” the company said in a statement.

The new office will also offer access to transport networks, on-site parking, electric vehicle charging stations, and surrounding commercial amenities.

Dains Group CEO Richard McNeilly said: “The East Midlands is an incredibly important region for Dains.

“It is home to a vibrant business community, ambitious entrepreneurs and growing organisations looking for trusted advisers who understand where they want to go, anticipate challenges ahead and bring together the right expertise to help them make confident decisions.

“Investing in our new Leicester office demonstrates our commitment to the region, matched by a real confidence in our capabilities and approach to expand further there.

“It also provides an excellent environment for our colleagues, helping us attract and retain talented people.”

Dains regional managing partner Mark Tuckwell said: “Bringing our Leicester and Rugby teams together gives us greater opportunities to collaborate, share expertise and provide the joined-up support that growing businesses need.

“Lakeside House provides a fantastic working environment with excellent facilities.”

In February this year, Dains appointed John Williams as its chief performance officer (CPO).
