Hazel Grove-based Chartered Accountants Clarke Nicklin are pleased to announce the acquisition of David Harrihill’s accountancy practice, formerly part of Bolton-based mdh Associates.

The acquisition brings to Clarke Nicklin three new members of staff and around £100,000 of new business. David Harrihill is joining Clarke Nicklin as a consultant and Andrew Lavin and Doug Walker are joining their accounts team.

Said partner, Steve Humphries: “This acquisition is just one part of our active strategic growth plan for Clarke Nicklin. The new business fits neatly into our existing client portfolio and the additional new team members will enable us to continue to offer our high levels of service.”

mdh Associates was formed in April 2000. Its existence, however, goes back to 1986 when it originally traded as Snow Kellett & Co. in Manchester.
