RMT Technology bolsters senior team ready for growth

RMT Technology, the specialist arm of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors has expanded its senior team, as it continues to grow its client base across the north of England.

RMT Technology works in partnership with a wide range of SMEs to identify and implement security first IT solutions which meet their specific business and operational needs around IT strategy, network infrastructure, information security and data management services.

After twenty years at RMT Technology and two years as Technical Director, Mike Hayes has been promoted to become its Managing Director. Hayes’ role will include implementing bespoke suites of managed service packages, while the business has also added two senior IT professionals to the team to bolster the expertise available to new and existing clients.

Stephen McNickle brings more than two decades of technology sector experience to his new role as RMT Technology’s Commercial Director. His background includes nurturing partnerships and presenting bespoke managed services and cyber-security solutions across the North of England, having led the growth of his previous organisation. McNickle has transitioned from a prominent regional technology consultancy.

At the same time, Susan Bell has joined RMT Technology, as Consultant. Bell has almost thirty years of experience working in privately owned businesses and corporate organisations—half of which has been at an executive level. She serves as an advisor to the boards of several regional businesses and organisations, having been a former CEO at North East technology consultancy Waterstons and Executive Director at UBS. Bell will assist in managing the expected growth of RMT Technology.

McNickle, RMT Technology Commercial Director said: “With the rapid advancements in technology, businesses need a trusted service provider that can recommend the right products and services for their success.

“Building close client relationships and understanding their unique requirements is crucial to building this trust. It is also one of our core principles at RMT. The teams’ technical knowledge is exceptional, and the business is set for significant growth.

“We are building on our success by delivering a truly unique proposition to the North East market which will provide certainty, clarity and assurance to the IT estate of our clients. The value we can add will be unrivalled.

Growing our senior team marks a step change in our ambitious progress into becoming the most trusted technical advisor and market leader in the space.”
