Accountancy and business advisory firm Azets has strengthened its senior team with 19 promotions in its Newcastle office at the Regent Centre in Gosforth.

Sarah Simpson has been promoted to partner in audit and assurance, while Patrick Newman becomes director in audit and assurance and Omar Din steps up to director in wealth management. 

Additional promotions span associate director, senior manager, manager, assistant manager and team leader roles.

Claire Hinshaw, who is Newcastle office managing partner, said: “These richly deserved promotions reflect the depth of talent and commitment we have among our team.

“It is a privilege to see team members develop their careers with Azets in Newcastle while providing outstanding support for our valued clients and contributing to the growth of our business in the city.”
