At Ducketts, our sole commercial purpose is to increase the financial worth of our clients (and help make their businesses more enjoyable along the way). Life and business are complex. So, we believe that your business deserves allies who make life better. We only hire the best people who benefit from above average compensation and an enjoyable working environment. We may be accountants at our core (and will insist on getting this right), but we believe that our real value to business owners is in helping them to get it right. We like to pay attention that's what you need us to do.www.chrisduckett.co.ukNetwork House/Thorn Office Centre/Thorn Lighting Est Rotherwas, HR2 6JT

The practice was founded by Andrew Young in 1984 with Ian Griffiths joining in 1991 and Lewis Rogers in 1993. The practice expanded rapidly and moved to Commercial Chambers in 1996. Ian became the senior partner in early 2000 and Andrew left, due to ill health, in late 2000. Due to continuing expansion, the practice had to acquire larger and more prestigious premises and moved to its current location in December 2002.www.youngand.co.ukBewell House/Bewell St, HR4 0BA
