A prominent accountancy and business advisory firm has launched a new office on Newcastle’s Pilgrim Street, which is its fifth base.
Clive Owen has established the office at The Spire in the city centre, which will be led by tax partner Stephen Harris.
Harris, a well known name in the region, has more than 15 years of corporate tax experience and brings a wealth of experience in working with owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurial clients.
The Newcastle site will add to its offices in Darlington, Durham, York and Middlesbrough.
Harris said: “It’s exciting to be part of Clive Owen LLP’s next chapter as we expand into Newcastle. Having worked with a wide variety of clients over the years, I’m looking forward to helping more local businesses navigate the complexities of tax and business planning. Clive Owen LLP’s ethos of offering tailored, client-focused service is something I truly value, and I’m thrilled to lead this office.”
Managing partner Gary Ellis added: “Opening in Newcastle is a natural progression for Clive Owen LLP. We’ve always been committed to growing organically, focusing on our independence and investing in the regions we serve to provide a personal and bespoke service to our clients.
“It is a very exciting time for the firm, and I am delighted to welcome Stephen, who brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will support our existing client base in the local area, our continued growth and ambitious plans for the future.”
Founded in 1983, Clive Owen LLP has grown from a small business with just one partner into a firm with more than 150 colleagues.
