About Us

Established in 2014 by Andrew Lock and Craig Hewitt-Dutton, LockDutton was born from a shared vision to create a “director-led” corporate finance firm focused on small and medium sized businesses.

We only engage with a small number of clients at any given time, allowing us to provide a truly personal and dedicated service. We're here to exceed your expectations, with a big network and a team that knows their stuff.
