October marks National Women’s Small Business Month 2024 which is a time to recognise and celebrate the achievements of female entrepreneurs who are shaping industries and driving change. At Darcey Quigley & Co, this celebration feels especially meaningful.

For more than 17 years, Darcey Quigley & Co has been helping businesses protect their cash flow and get paid on time but behind this success is a powerful story of determination, vision, and leadership in the commercial debt recovery sector.

The Story Behind Darcey Quigley & Co

Founded in 2007 by Lynne Darcey Quigley, the business was built on deep industry knowledge and a clear purpose.

With years of experience in credit control, Lynne understood that strong financial processes and consistent cash flow are essential to business success.

Recognising a gap in the market for a more transparent, professional, and client focused approach to commercial debt recovery, she launched Darcey Quigley & Co to support businesses of all sizes across a wide range of industries.

Her mission was simple yet powerful: help businesses get paid while maintaining professionalism and integrity.

A Mission Driven by Determination

From day one, Lynne’s determination has been the driving force behind the company’s growth.

That same passion continues to shape the business today, ensuring that every client receives a service rooted in expertise, empathy, and results.

Today, the company continues to support businesses across the UK and internationally, providing expert solutions that help protect cash flow and reduce the stress of unpaid invoices.

Empowering People, Building Success

A key part of the company’s success lies in its people. Lynne has built a team she describes as her greatest asset, one that reflects the company’s values of empowerment, collaboration, and excellence.

With a strong focus on professional development and support, employees are equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in the fast-paced world of commercial debt recovery.

Recognising Female Leadership

Lynne’s leadership has not gone unnoticed as she has been recognised for her innovation and influence within the industry, including:

• Insider’s Top 20 Women to Watch (2021)
• Raconteur’s 50 New Frontiers (2023)

Her achievements highlight the impact of female leadership, not just during National Women’s Small Business Month, but also on occasions like International Women’s Day, when businesses around the world celebrate progress toward gender equality.
