Adderstone Group’s Gainsborough House has added another high-profile name to its line-up, with one of the North’s leading independent accountancy and advisory firms, Clive Owen LLP, taking a suite in the landmark Grey Street building.
The arrival continues a run of growth for the address. In the heart of the city centre, Gainsborough House has become one of the most sought-after business homes in Newcastle, with occupiers including Bauer Media Group, Pegasus Group and Pizza Punks. Excellent transport links and high-quality space have made this corner of the city a natural base for established names and ambitious challengers alike.
Clive Owen joins that community on the back of a fast-moving Newcastle story of its own. The firm opened its Newcastle branch in October 2024 with a single member of staff, and in under two years has grown that team to thirteen – a pace of growth that quickly outgrew the original space and prompted the move to a larger, more prominent home in the heart of the city.
Stephen Harris, who leads the Newcastle office for Clive Owen LLP, commented: “The move to Grey Street is a real milestone for us. We wanted a base that reflected the calibre of the team we’ve built here and the clients we work with, and Gainsborough House does exactly that.
“Adderstone Management handled everything efficiently from start to finish, and Adderstone Construction stepped in to take care of the fit-out and have made the space everything we hoped for. It’s a fantastic environment, in a fantastic location, and it gives us the room to keep growing.”
Grace Thompson, Leasing Manager at Adderstone Management Limited, commented: “Gainsborough House has built up a community of high-calibre businesses, and Clive Owen has settled into a beautiful suite as another big hitter – their growth in Newcastle speaks for itself.
“We shape our spaces around ambitious companies, and the fact that names of this standing keep choosing Gainsborough House tells you everything about what the address offers.”
Clive Owen LLP provides audit, tax, accounts, consulting and corporate finance services, with offices in Newcastle, Darlington, Durham, Middlesbrough and York.
With a thriving mix of tenants already in place and a reputation that continues to draw businesses of every stripe, Gainsborough House stands as proof of what the right environment can do, both for the companies that call it home and for the part of Newcastle they’re helping to shape.
