Evolution LLP furthers Newcastle presence

North East accountancy practice Evolution LLP has opened a second office in Newcastle.

Headquartered in Wynyard, the firm says it is firmly committed to raising its brand across the region, having begun life operating in the Tees Valley.

Evolution has flourished in the Tees Valley and over recent years has developed its footprint into Tyneside and Wearside, growing its client base in the area.

Priding itself on being approachable, with outstanding client relationships, the business believes it has a unique proposition with its development as a full-service hybrid consultancy.

Martin Barber, managing partner of Evolution LLP, believes the expansion is driven by the relationship shared between the company and clients.

He said: “That leads to recommendations to work with others, often in new and exciting areas. Our clients tell us they like the way in which we help them to grow their businesses and we want to bring our open and engaging approach to a wider audience. Newcastle is a new and exciting venture for us.”

Associate member and head of taxation services, Tim Mallon, has been appointed to head up the Newcastle office.

Having spent the majority of his working life on Tyneside and retaining a significant client base in the area, Tim - who joined Evolution in November 2013 - is the perfect choice to be responsible for the office and will also continue to lead the tax team for the firm.

Speaking about the expansion, he said: “This is of course a great way to start a new year and what’s great to know is Newcastle is only the start of our expansion plans.

“We chose the location as we are hoping to grow our business quickly and therefore flexibility is important.

“We also want to be well placed for both the business community in Newcastle and good road links to our clients across the North East.”

Evolution enjoyed a successful 2015 – including several new appointments to its already expert team – and Martin believes his team’s ethos and a ‘can do’ attitude is behind everything Evolution has achieved.

He believes the firm has waited for the right time to open a second office but is excited there is still much more to come.

“We are an entrepreneurial business that believes innovation is the life blood of success, our bright young team deserve the opportunity to stretch their wings and fly,” said Martin.

“I couldn’t be more excited for the future of Evolution. I believe we have a fantastic team with, as yet, untapped potential and we plan to release that entrepreneurial brilliance.”
