Clive Owen celebrates 25 years and client turnover of £1bn
A NORTH EAST chartered accountancy firm, whose clients can collectively boast over £1bn annual turnover, is celebrating 25 years of success.
Clive Owen & Co LLP which has offices in Darlington, York and Durham, has developed an enviable reputation over the past 25 years and has built up a client list that numbers over 2700 clients throughout the North East.
With a client turnover topping £530m in its Darlington office alone, the company is justifiably proud of its achievements. The company was founded when Clive Owen set up as a sole trader, having worked for Peat, Marwick and Mitchell in Darlington. Clive Owen & Co LLP now employs a total of 90 staff across its three offices.
Clive Owen, the original founder of the company said: "Clive Owen & Co LLP has achieved an enormous amount in 25 years and has grown steadily every year since its inception."
"However we are not a company to rest on our laurels and have developed the reputation as a capable but dynamic firm offering a first class business advisory service as well as accountancy. We are genuinely delighted to have helped so many businesses over the years to expand and prosper and I look forward to the future of the company with tremendous optimism and confidence."
"We also now audit Reeves & Neylan LLP, one of the UK Top 50 accountancy practices, which reflects the esteem in which we are held by our peers."
The company's services initially included audit, accounts, tax and general business advice. In its 25 year history it has added a payroll bureau, a business planning department as well as a corporate finance department, specialised IT department and a forensic accountant.
All these elements have made Clive Owen & Co LLP one of the most successful and prestigious accountancy and business advisory services in the North East, with a client turnover that exceeds figures of many much larger firms.
