RMT Accountants opening new office in Hexham town centre



RMT Accountants & Business Advisors will open a new office in Hexham town centre, on Gilesgate, in addition to its existing location at Hexham Mart.

The Newcastle-headquartered firm hopes this move will help increase its client base in West Northumberland and serve the community more effectively.

This expansion will also lead to new job opportunities in Hexham.

Established in 1954, RMT Accountants & Business Advisors provides a comprehensive range of financial and business advisory services.

These include accountancy, tax, healthcare, corporate finance, and restructuring.

The firm is part of the Sumer Group, a leading SME-focused accountancy practice in the UK.

RMT recently made its presence in the Tyne Valley in 2023 by acquiring McCowie & Co, a specialist in the rural and agricultural sector.

Through this acquisition, RMT has been catering to a variety of agricultural, farming, and contracting businesses in the North East, Scotland, and North Yorkshire.

The firm also serves numerous local SMEs across various business sectors.

Stephen Slater, managing director at RMT Accountants, said: “We believe itโ€™s important for us to be part of the community that weโ€™re serving and to have a first-hand understanding of the opportunities, challenges and issues facing local business owners and managers.

“With one well-known national accountancy firm recently choosing to close its Hexham office, weโ€™re now taking the opposite approach and opening in a second location to ensure we have the extra office space available that we believe weโ€™re going to need.

“Our existing Hexham team is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable, and weโ€™re expecting to see it grow in the coming months to support our local development plans.

“The specific SME focus that being part of the Sumer Group provides adds an extra dimension to the full range of services we can offer to local businesses and weโ€™re excited about the impact that this investment will have on both their and our operations.”

Peter McCowie, who joined RMT after its acquisition of McCowie & Co, said: “Our Tynedale team has been part of the local community for more than 50 years and the access to significant new resources and expertise that becoming part of RMT gave us is already delivering tangible benefits to our local clients.”
