Clive Owen LLP expands with Newcastle office

A leading independent accountancy and business advisory firm has expanded its presence across the North with a new office in Newcastle.

Clive Owen LLP has opened a new office at The Spire on Pilgrim Street, adding to its bases in Darlington, Durham, York, and Middlesbrough. The firm, which was founded just over 40 years ago, now has over 150 colleagues offering multi-disciplinary expertise. 

The Newcastle office will be led by tax partner Stephen Harris, who brings over 15 years of corporate tax experience, specialising in corporate tax restructuring and mergers and acquisitions. His appointment supports the firm’s continued growth, following the recent appointment of Michael Cantwell to lead the corporate finance division.

Commenting on his new role, Stephen said: “It’s exciting to be part of Clive Owen LLP’s next chapter as we expand into Newcastle.

“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.”
