We have found, throughout our 6 decades in practice, that this is the most effective way to grow our business, as clients frequently recommend Derek Young & Co to others, even though we never ask them to do so. As part of our service to clients, we like to share with them our wealth of experience, in order to help them grow and improve their own businesses. Derek Young & Co was founded by Derek Young in 1960 upon the traditional values of fairness, honesty, reliability and sensible ‘down to earth’ business advice, delivered in a professional but friendly way and accompanied by a great sense of humour. The practice has lead the way throughout its 6 decades by maintaining these core values and by combining them with cutting edge technologies. Derek Young & Co was, for example, one of the first firms in the world to utilise ‘Accounts Production’ software way back in the 1970s and has continued to maximise efficiency and to minimise its fees to this day by being an early adopter of new technologies and techniques.
