Colette Lennon

When I completed college in Ireland, I spent four years working in Brussels. I then returned to Ireland and joined my family accountancy practice, where I completed my professional exams. I continued working with my family practice until 2015, when I relocated to Stockport with my husband.

I enjoy working with a multitude of business types and sizes, and this only adds to the variety in my role. My role enables me to assist business owners across their entire business life, from new business start-ups through to retirement.

My ability to connect with clients, creating authentic relationships, offering honest and trusted advice, that adds value to their business and achieves their ambitions is central to my role as Director and is most fulfilling.

• What makes DJH great is...

  Honestly it is the people there is a real sense of connection and shared values that is lived by everyone every day.

  Working closely with an enthusiastic, hard-working, ambitious team in the Altrincham office and the wider DJH Group makes for an enjoyable and rewarding working day.

• My most trusted piece of advice in business is...

  Spend quality time planning what you want to achieve and how you are going to achieve it, be realistic in your expectations and seek quality professional advice from the beginning to provide advice and support. Set milestones and review regularly to ensure on target and if not take necessary actions to achieve your goal.

  If in doubt, seek advice; communication and collaboration are everything to achieve business growth in a rapidly changing world.

• On a Saturday morning, you’ll usually fine me ….

  On the first of two long walks with my yellow Labrador Finn, who has boundless energy and never seems to get tired.

  When the sun is shining, you will find me on my husband’s boat in Wales being an obedient deckhand.
