Clive Owen LLP, one of the North’s leading independent accountancy and business advisory firms, is celebrating a successful first year on Tyneside, with plans for further expansion at its Newcastle office already underway.
The firm, which also has offices in Darlington, Durham, Middlesbrough and York, opened its fifth office in Newcastle, at The Spire on Pilgrim Street, in October 2024, and has since grown from a single person to a team of 10.
To mark the occasion, Clive Owen LLP hosted a special celebration at the Dakota Hotel Newcastle for professional connections across the city.
Stephen Harris, Tax Partner and Head of the Newcastle office, said: “We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved in our first year in Newcastle. The response from clients and the wider business community has been overwhelmingly positive, and our growth has exceeded initial expectations, thanks in large part to this fantastic support.
“Our success is testament to the hard work and dedication of our growing team, as well as the trust our clients have placed in us. I am excited about what the future holds for Clive Owen LLP on Tyneside, with further growth and job creation on the horizon.
“Newcastle is a vibrant and ambitious city, and we look forward to continuing to expand our presence here, building on the strong relationships we have developed with entrepreneurial businesses and the wider professional community over the last 12 months.”
Simon Hook, Joint Managing Partner, added: “Our successful first year in the heart of Newcastle reflects not only the dedication and expertise of our team, but also the support and trust we have been fortunate to receive from our valued clients and the wider professional community across the city.
“We remain committed to building on this momentum and look forward to strengthening our relationships across Tyneside and beyond, while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our clients.”
Established in 1983, Clive Owen LLP has grown from a small sole trader operation into a dynamic firm with offices in Darlington, York, Durham, Middlesbrough and Newcastle and a workforce in the region of 150 colleagues. The practice prides itself on delivering multi-disciplinary expertise while maintaining a reputation for a personal, client-focused service.
