Jerroms joins forces with Philip Barnes for new regional accountancy partnership

Midlands based accountants Jerroms – part of Sumer Group - have joined forces with counterparts Philip Barnes to create a new strategic regional partnership.

They say the move enhances Jerroms’ ability to deliver professional services to small and medium sized enterprises, building on their long standing commitment to supporting the local business community.

Philip Barnes Tamworth has established a strong reputation for client service excellence and deep regional knowledge.

Their team’s expertise and trusted relationships make them a natural fit for Jerroms and align closely with Sumer’s ethos of local delivery, national scale.

As part of the wider integration, the Philip Barnes Uttoxeter office will join DPC, also part of Sumer, while the Tamworth office will join Jerroms.

This structure ensures both teams gain access to broader capability, deeper technical expertise and enhanced growth opportunities across the group.

Lucas Markou, director at Jerroms, said: “Welcoming the Philip Barnes Tamworth team into Jerroms marks an exciting step for both firms.

“Their strong local reputation and client first approach align closely with our own values, and together we’ll be able to offer an even broader range of services and specialist support.

“This partnership strengthens our presence in the region and reinforces our commitment to delivering high quality advice with genuine local insight.”

John Clark, director in Philip Barnes’ Tamworth Office, said: “Joining Jerroms gives our Tamworth clients access to wider specialist capability while allowing us to maintain the personal, local service they value.

“This partnership is a natural next step in our growth, and we’re excited about the opportunities it creates for our clients and our team.”
