Leading UK accountancy and business advisory firm, Johnston Carmichael, has strengthened its Newcastle office with five new appointments across Tax and Audit, as the team continues to expand its presence in the North East.

The firm has welcomed Cameron Greenwood as Employer Services Assistant Manager, Kenn Gamueda as Financial Reporting Advisory Assistant, Julia Garrett as VAT Assistant and Abbie Green as Audit Assistant. The new hires follow the recent arrival of Gemma Gibson as Audit Partner, further strengthening the office’s senior team.

Kenn, Julia and Abbie join the firm under training contracts, as part of the firm’s long-term investment in developing future talent. They form part of a growing cohort of early career professionals in the office, with four already in place and a further three expected to join later this summer.

The appointments reflect Johnston Carmichael’s continued investment in growing its Newcastle team, strengthening capability across both senior and early career roles.

Paul Shields, Partner and Head of the Newcastle office, said:

Since launching its office in 2023, the firm has grown to a team of 25 and recently expanded its office to support its long-term ambitions in the North East.
