The purpose-led practice keeps its name, team and offices, while gaining the backing and wider expertise of a growing UK group.
Newcastle accountancy firm Blu Sky has joined the Nuvo Group, a growing UK business services group, marking the next step in the firm’s growth while keeping its name, team and offices in place.
Blu Sky works with ambitious, growing businesses across the North East and beyond. As a certified B Corp, the firm has built its reputation on honest, proactive advice and long-term client relationships.
Founder Jon Dudgeon and CFO/CGO Steve Robinson will continue to lead the practice.
For clients, the day-to-day stays the same. They’ll continue to work with the Blu Sky team they know, with the same approachable, straight-talking support.
What changes is the specialist support Blu Sky can call on. As part of the Nuvo Group, the team now has access to additional expertise across accountancy, audit, tax, payroll, HR, hiring and legal services through Nuvo Legal, bringing in the right people when clients need them.
Jon Dudgeon, Founder of Blu Sky, said:
“We’ve always been about doing right by the businesses we work with and building relationships for the long term. Joining the Nuvo Group allows us to build on that.
“Our clients will continue to work with the people they know and trust, but we’ll have even more specialist expertise around us when they need it. It means we can keep doing what we do best while giving our clients access to additional support as their businesses grow and evolve.
“We’ve put a lot into building Blu Sky in a way that reflects our values, so any next step needed to allow us to stay true to what makes Blu Sky what it is. We’re really excited about what comes next.”
Steve Sharp, Founder and CEO of Nuvo Group, said:
“We’re really pleased to welcome Blu Sky to the Nuvo Group. Jon and the team have built a fantastic business, with strong client relationships and a clear sense of what they stand for.
“What really stood out to us was the way Blu Sky combines ambition with a genuinely people-focused approach. They’ve put real thought into how they grow, how they support their clients and team, and the kind of business they want to be.
“We want to build on what already makes Blu Sky successful, while giving the team access to additional specialist support from across the group. We’re looking forward to working with Jon, Steve and the wider Blu Sky team on what comes next.”
Legal advice to the selling shareholders was provided by Mincoffs Solicitors, with Daniel Bell, associate solicitor in the firm’s corporate team, leading the transaction.
Daniel added: “Having worked with Jon, Steven and their team for several years, we are delighted to have supported them on this significant next step for Blu Sky. It was a pleasure to work alongside them and advise on their sale. We wish Blu Sky every success as part of the Nuvo Group.”
Blu Sky now trades as Blu Sky, part of the Nuvo Group.
