Audit, tax and consulting firm RSM has recommitted to its Hull offices with a new 10-year lease following a refurbishment.

The business services firm has been based at the Humber Quays premises for the last 17 years, and has revamped the space to provide a flexible working environment in line with its hybrid working approach, and to accommodate future growth plans. RSM says its Hull team has seen significant growth in recent years, and has invested in people, including new trainees, to support clients across Humber, the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ and internationally.

Andy Capes, office managing partner in RSM’s Hull office, said: "Our office refurbishment and new 10-year lease demonstrates RSM’s commitment to Hull and the Humber, the expansion of our business and our investment in the local and º£½ÇÊÓÆµ economy. Working in conjunction with our landlord J R Rix & Sons, our new open plan office space is modern, high tech and supports our hybrid working model, encouraging better collaboration between our people and the range of local, national and international clients we advise.

"As the only global accountancy firm with an office in Hull, we recognise our responsibility to support local businesses which are essential to regional and º£½ÇÊÓÆµ economic growth. We’re also continuing to invest in providing accessible career opportunities for local talent across our network of º£½ÇÊÓÆµ offices, so it was important we provided our staff with a great space conducive to their development and building a network, enabling them to thrive in their careers."

In its most recent results to the end of March 2024, RSM posted record £542m revenue and pre-tax profits of £18.6m. Executive chair Kevin O'Connor called it a momentous year for RSM against a backdrop of economic challenges and political uncertainties.

During the year, RSM also completed the purchase of remaining shares owned by partners, trustees and former partners - meaning the company is now wholly owned by the RSM º£½ÇÊÓÆµ Partner Benefit Trust, held for the benefit of partners in the business.
