The specialist technology arm of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors has brought in eight new recruits as it continues to grow on the back of increasing client demand.

RMT Technology works to identify and implement security first IT solutions which meet specific business and operational needs around IT strategy, network infrastructure, information security and data management services.

Having moved into a new, purpose-built 1,800 sq ft office at RMT’s Gosforth headquarters last summer, the firm committed to creating 15 new jobs over the following two years as part of its strategy for increasing its client base across the north of England.

And it is now more than halfway towards reaching that goal after bringing in a range of new technical and project management team members.

Daniel Lisle and Brad Reeves have joined the team as senior desk engineers, with Andrew McDonald and Josh McKay taking up desk engineer roles.

Caleb Errington and Megan Hindmarch have been appointed as account managers, while Ben Caygill has joined as a project engineer and Adam Grice is leading the firm’s service desk.

RMT Technology works in partnership with a wide range of SMEs to identify and implement security first IT solutions which meet their specific business and operational needs around IT strategy, network infrastructure, information security and data management services.

Alongside managed service provision in these areas, the firm also provides a consultancy service which helps clients of all sizes identify and address issues within their technology infrastructure, information management and cyber security systems and procedures.

Megan Hindmarch says: “From my first meeting here, it was clear that RMT Technology was a very ambitious business and it’s great to be coming on board at an early stage of its growth journey.

“It’s a very friendly and approachable team that has a lot of knowledge to share and is totally focussed on working in the best interests of our clients.”

Stephen McNickle, commercial director at RMT Technology, adds: “Bringing in the right calibre and number of staff is a crucial part of servicing the new clients that we’re winning and demonstrating how new technologies can make a tangible difference to their operational and financial performance.

“Our new recruits bring a wide range of impressive skills and experience with them, and we’re expecting to see more people joining the team through the coming year as we work towards our growth targets.

“Effective deployment of technology and security solutions has never been more important for businesses across every sector, and we’re seeing this reflected in the number and range of new clients that we’re bringing on board.”
