Since its new board was appointed in 2015, the firm has expanded operations across Newcastle city centre, Durham, Gosforth, Leeds, Sunderland, Alnwick, Tees Valley, Birmingham and Manchester – while adopting a model that gives its ambitious and entrepreneurial team members the opportunity to become shareholder directors.
