Specialist local accountants and business advisory group Azets, which has offices across Durham, Newcastle, Alnwick, Morpeth and more in the North East, as well as Leeds, Bradford and York in Yorkshire, has appointed Ian Beaumont as regional senior partner for the North East and Yorkshire.
Formerly the head of KPMG in the North East, Ian brings decades of experience from roles at Haines Watts, RSM Robson Rhodes, BDO and KPMG, working with privately owned, private equity-backed, family-owned and listed businesses.
He said: “This is an exciting time for the North East, with two Combined Authorities providing stimulus for growth, a strong traditional business community and the growth of new sectors, such as energy transition, digital, space and the creative sector."
