New Sunderland offices signals recruitment drive for accountancy firm

Torgersens Chartered Accountants has officially announced its new Sunderland office with a visit from the CEO of Sunderland City Council, Patrick Melia.

Patrick, who is leading the dynamic transformation of the city, briefed partners and staff on future regeneration plans and contributed to a video the firm is producing to promote its new location, including its aim to immediately hire senior staff.

Torgersens, which was established in the 1970s, has offices in Sunderland, Jarrow and Gosforth and employs over 30 staff. The Sunderland office was previously located at Norfolk Street and is now based at a modern, spacious, open-plan ground floor office, at Avalon House, on the banks of the River Wear.

Patrick Melia commented: “Congratulations to Torgersens on its new office and the commitment of the partners to not only invest in Sunderland but to recruit more senior staff.

“News of multinationals creating huge numbers of new jobs or the announcement of large infrastructure programmes, naturally capture the headlines, but alongside this is the army of firms that are a vital part of the business environment and who, between them, deliver thousands of high-quality new jobs every year in our region.

“Torgersens very much falls into that category as it not only employs a growing number of high-quality people but provides accountancy and management advice to a vast range of companies in Wearside and across the north east.

Martin Johnson, partner at Torgersens, added: “It was a pleasure to welcome Patrick to our new offices and to hear the exciting plans for the further regeneration of the city.

“There has been phenomenal transformation in the last three years and at Torgersens, we sense, through conversations with our clients, there is increased confidence and pride in being in business in Sunderland.

“This is an exciting time for our firm with the move to fantastic, new premises and with three high quality jobs immediately on offer at this office. We are building a strong, cohesive team across our three offices with staff that support and encourage each other.

“This is a great time to join us and we are looking forward to greeting new team members in the very near future.”
