Crowther Jordan was founded in 1985 by Ray Crowther and Michael Jordan, both lecturers at what is now the University of Wolverhampton. Gary Hartland joined a year later to develop the practice and undertake client work.

Stephen Gray joined as a partner in April 1992. His and Gary’s complementary skills and personalities provided an ideal blend of enterprise and compliance. The partnership was incorporated in 2003. In April 2006, Gary left the practice to concentrate fully on other business interests and his extensive property portfolio.

In 2024 Stephen merged his practice with DKR in order to offer a greater level of service and wider talent pool. With changes on the horizon for Accounting Standards, HMRC, corporate governance and the increased role of AI it was felt that this was needed for the firm and it’s clients.

Stephen joined DKR as partner and continues to look after Crowther Jordan as well as lend valuable advice to the wider group.
