Johnston Carmichael Boosts North East Presence With Office Expansion

Accountancy and business advisory firm Johnston Carmichael has launched a recruitment drive after expanding into new offices in Newcastle.

The company launched its Tyneside office towards the end of last year, leading to a regional recruitment campaign to bolster its team. Over recent months the Newcastle team has grown to 12, and recruitment is under way to attract more specialists and grow the team further before the end of the year.

The move comes as Johnston Carmichael has also expanded into a new office at Maybrook House, Grainger Street, which is over 50% larger than its previous space in Newcastle, opening up room for further growth. The most recent new team members include Omotola Alex-Taiwo, audit manager; Stuart Gardiner, business advisory manager; and Geoff Logan, audit assistant manager.

He said: “We have had an incredible reception since launching in the region last October, which has helped us to invest in creating more roles and bring more services locally for our clients. Our Newcastle office is focused on advising and supporting the region’s most prominent sectors and ambitious businesses, including real specialist skills in engineering and manufacturing, food and drink, property and tech.

“We are continuing our drive for growth and are open to conversations with people who are looking to join a progressive, independent accountancy firm. We currently have openings in audit, corporation tax, private client tax, and VAT. We will also be welcoming graduates into our audit team from January 2025, marking a significant milestone for the office.

“We look forward to collaborating with the next generation of accounting and advisory professionals and continuing to deliver exceptional service for our clients.”
