Accountancy and advisory firm William Duncan + Co and its business recovery subsidiary have rebranded to Dains.

They both became part of the Dains Accountants Group in September 2022.

Managing partner Graeme Bryson said: “This is an exciting new chapter in the evolution of our business, rebranding as Dains to further cement our position within the wider Dains Group.

“Whilst we have a new look and a new name, behind that we are still the same knowledgeable team, and clients can expect the same level of dedication, professionalism, and personalised attention that they have come to trust, now with the added benefits of enhanced resources and capabilities.

“We are extremely proud of the reputation we have built over the past 105 years, and our plans as part of the wider group for the coming months and years are both exciting and ambitious.”

Annette Menzies and Steven Wright, partners at William Duncan (Business Recovery), both commented: “Under our new identity of Dains we remain dedicated to supporting businesses in financial distress and providing comprehensive solutions to complex insolvency challenges.

“This strategic move positions the combined entity for even greater success in the future and we will continue to unlock new opportunities for growth, benefiting our team and stakeholders alike.”

William Duncan is one of Scotland’s oldest accountancy firms, with offices in Glasgow, Ayr and Kilmarnock.
