Dains named UK Mid-Tier Firm of the Year at The British Accountancy Awards 2013...

Midlands based Dains beat off fierce competition to win the “Mid-Tier Firm of the Year” award at the national 2013 British Accountancy Awards.

The award was presented to Spencer Wright, Chief Executive, of Dains at an awards ceremony hosted by Accountancy Age at The Pavilion at the Tower of London, attended by over 600 accountancy professionals from all over the country.

Dains won the award following a detailed submission focusing on 6 key areas of their business. They were among a shortlist of 14 other Accountancy firms. The annual awards continue to recognise excellence in the Accountancy practice community with categories covering all sizes of firms and the individuals and teams within them. The 'Mid-Tier Firm' category aims to recognise the firm that most effectively demonstrates quantifiable performance improvements in their business in terms of innovation; professionalism; people; responsibility and growth.

The judges comments included: “They're profitable, have organised around their core services and showed sustained performance. I liked the humility of the firm - their entry was balanced, frank and factual."

Spencer Wright said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this national award, especially being up against such a high caliber of firms in our industry. Whilst we know that receiving this award will raise further awareness of Dains in the market place, most important is the boost that it gives to our partners, directors and staff who have worked incredibly hard in recent years to continually improve and expand the business - for that I am extremely proud”
