The specialist technology arm of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors is aiming to double the size of its team over the next two years after completing a major premises investment.
RMT Technology has moved into a new, purpose-built 1,800 sq ft office at RMT’s Gosforth headquarters that contains both additional desk space and a dedicated build area in which the customer solutions developed by its team of engineers can be created, tested and refined.
And it is now looking to create 15 new technical and project management jobs over the next two years as part of its growth strategy for increasing its client base across the north of England, with its first new recruits set to come on board over the summer.
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.
It also holds the high level Cyber Essentials PLUS accreditation, which involves an independent assessment of participants’ online security provisions across five different areas, as well as simulated hacking and ‘phishing’ attacks, and offers training and guidance to help SMEs achieve their own Cyber Essentials accreditations.
Stephen McNickle, commercial director at RMT Technology, says: “The investment that’s been made in creating a dedicated, purpose-built facility for our growing team has given us a base from which the business can make huge strides in the future.
“Our focus is always on creating a lasting positive impact on our clients’ operations by delivering customised solutions which not only address and resolve immediate issues, but which also help them to achieve their long-term commercial objectives.
“Building a bigger team that can meet the increasing client demand that we’re expecting to see is an essential part of our own continuing evolution and we’re already set to welcome some new recruits through the summer, with more to follow over the next two years and beyond.”
Stephen Slater, managing director at RMT Accountants & Business Advisors, adds: “RMT Technology has proven to be a real success story as the need for remote, secure access to technology services has grown and we’re only just beginning to start realising its full potential.
“We have a strong senior team in place which is driving the business’s expansion, with this investment in a dedicated, purpose-built space being a central part of its growth strategy.”
