The specialist technology arm of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors is extending its presence across North East England after securing a string of new regional contracts.
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.
It is aiming to create at least 15 new technical and project management jobs created over the next two years as part of its expansion plans, and has now been appointed by several businesses across the North East to provide a range of managed service, connectivity, licensing, hardware, Voice Over IP and security technologies.
New clients including Consett-based medical device manufacturer Surgical Dynamics, Jesmond estate agency Symonds Taylor and the Durham head office of collision assistance specialist Glass Assist UK.
Newcastle’s Live Theatre has also signed up RMT Technology to deliver managed IT and security services at its extensive Quayside complex.
The new relationship covers both the theatre itself and the adjoining Schoolhouse business hub for creative and digital firms that the Live Theatre team manages as part of its wider sustainable business model.
Antony Robertson, finance and operations manager at Live Theatre, says: “We wanted a technology partner that would build an understanding of our business on a personal level, that could identify how IT solutions could be applied to enhance our operations and that we could trust to keep the promises they make.
“The RMT Technology team has invested the time on site to get to know us, has dealt quickly with queries as they’ve arisen and is helping us deal efficiently with the technology needs of every part of our business.”
Alongside its solutions provision work, RMT Technology also offers 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 recently moved into a new, purpose-built 1,800 sq ft office and build area at RMT’s Gosforth headquarters as part of its drive towards increasing its client base.
Stephen McNickle, commercial director at RMT Technology, adds: “The technical understanding that our team provides allied to the personal approach we take and the long-term client relationships we’re building is enabling us to deliver on our business expansion plans.
“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.”
