Clive Owen, one of the North’s leading independent accountancy, business and tax advisory firms, has welcomed a new cohort of graduates.
The latest intake sees seven new trainees join the firm across its audit & accounts and tax teams, based in Darlington, York, Durham, Middlesbrough and Newcastle. They join the four colleagues who began their training earlier this year, reflecting the firm’s ongoing investment in attracting and developing talented people across the North of England.
The new graduates are Azza Abdelmagid, Jack Sims, Danny Clayton, Francesca Stobbs, Will Ellison, Jonathan Cale, and Alistair Sweetin.
Cline Owen was also recently named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women 2026, by Great Place to Work, UK.
