Redesmere, the Cheshire-headquartered consultancy known for digital transformation, cloud service and artificial intelligence support to public and private sector organisations, has opened a base in Newcastle.

The move matters to the sector because it shows a specialist consultancy building regional presence to be close to clients.

The new office is in the Spire building, which neighbours the Tyne Bridge. Redesmere says the move supports its ambition to “build its presence in the North East for the long-term” and “further cements Newcastle’s position as one of the UK’s most dynamic technology hubs.”

Headquartered in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, Redesmere was founded in 2015 as an independent professional services firm whose work spans cloud transition, legacy decommissioning and delivery enablement, and it describes itself as an SME by headcount operating at programme scale. Its services include service management analytics using Splunk dashboards, alongside independent reviews and assurance of complex digitally enabled change programmes.

Its listed credentials include digital engineering practice leadership, technology asset management, electronic patient record programme business cases, enterprise portfolio management transformation and hybrid hosting transformation.

Lee Murray, Redesmere senior manager, said: “Our ambition is to become the trusted digital transformation partner across the region, which means being close to clients.”

Murray added: “We chose Newcastle not only because of its established digital and tech ecosystem, research capabilities, skills, talent pool, expertise in fintech, gaming, space and defence, data science and immersive technologies, but because of its collaborative approach to business.”

Michael Guthrie, property manager of Central Space at the Spire, said: “Redesmere joins a diverse mix of companies, further strengthening the building’s role in bringing businesses into the heart of the city.”

The structural driver is client proximity in regional markets, with consultancies establishing local bases in established technology hubs to support delivery relationships that depend on being close to customers.

For the sector, the opening points to digital transformation specialists extending beyond their home regions into cities with established technology ecosystems.
