DSG is proud to announce that we have been named Professional Services Firm of the Year at the City of Liverpool Business Awards 2025. The awards were hosted by Downtown in Business and took place at the stunning Sefton Park Palm House on 3rd July.
DSG was founded in Liverpool in 1887, so this recognition holds special meaning for the firm as it represents not only the work we do today, but the generations of dedication and trust our clients place in us.
Downtown in Business are widely recognised for helping businesses to grow and thrive in the Liverpool City Region and beyond so their recognition of DSG as a leader in the Professional Services space is a huge honour. DSG is proud to be a member of the Downtown in Business network and this award strengthens our partnership with them.
DSG has experienced a transformative year and has demonstrated strong leadership and increased growth since a successful Management Buyout (MBO) by partners Mark Kearsley and Laura Leslie in September 2024. Over the past year, we have refined our service offering, expanded our client base, amplified our community engagement and strengthened our team. All of these efforts play a key role in our recognition from Downtown in Business.
Mark Kearsley, Tax Partner at DSG said “We are incredibly proud to be crowned Professional Services Firm of the Year 2025, especially after such a pivotal year for the firm. This award reflects the incredible work of our team, the trust from our clients and the support from the amazing Liverpool community we’re so proud to be part of”
Laura Leslie, Audit Partner at DSG added “To receive this recognition following the Management Buyout (MBO) is truly special and reflects the impact of the journey we’ve been on. We are honoured to be recognised for the work that we do, alongside some of Liverpool’s most innovative businesses”
We would like to congratulate all of the winners and nominees at the City of Liverpool Business Awards 2025. It was fantastic to celebrate this DSG milestone beside Liverpool’s thriving business community.
