Armstrong Watson has announced that it has relocated to a smart office at One Strawberry Lane in Newcastle.
Following the acquisition of Joseph Miller in January the firm has operated two locations in the city, at Waterloo Square and from the Joseph Miller offices in Milburn House, Dean Street.
The move will bring the Newcastle team together under one roof and is the result of sustained growth for the firm in the North East.
The new office, which is housed within a £30m, six-storey building in the Gallowgate area of the city next to St James’ Park, has been designed by the housing association Home Group.
The move continues “extensive investment” in Armstrong Watson’s northern stronghold and comes just months before the relocation of the firm’s head office in the centre of Carlisle.
Paul Dickson, CEO and managing partner, said: “Our growth in the North East over recent years has been rapid, and following our most recent acquisition, we needed larger premises for our growing team. We acknowledge the importance of investing in our teams, and of equal priority is the need to invest in the right environment for them to work in, and provide our clients with the best possible service.
“We now have a full-service proposition in Newcastle, with strong accounting, payroll and tax teams. This gives us an incredibly robust foundation to build on our ambitions to grow further in the North East as we continue to aim to be recognised as the go-to firm for family and owner-managed businesses across the north.”
David Gold, partner, added: “Apart from benefiting from a superb modern working environment, the move to the new office enables us to pool our resources more effectively, bringing our teams together to offer a comprehensive range of services to clients.”
