Northumberland man returns home to join RMT Accountants
An experienced business finance professional who swapped Seahouses for Switzerland has returned to his native North East to join RMT Accountants & Business Advisors.
Matthew Weightman has been recruited by the Gosforth-headquartered firm as a corporate finance executive and brings more than 15 years’ experience to his new role.
He joined HSBC’s international graduate programme after completing a degree in French, German and International Business at Aston University.
He developed his career through private and corporate banking positions across Switzerland, Brazil and London before returning to Zurich to spend over seven years as a corporate banking relationship manager.
Matthew said: “I’m immensely proud to have grown up in this region, helping my grandfather and uncle during school holidays in the family business, and that appreciation has grown even stronger over the years that I have been away.
“My personal mission is therefore very much aligned with RMT and Sumer in wanting to help SMEs in the region grow or successfully manage a succession via expert strategic advice and strong relationships.
“I have a keen interest in both the operational and the human sides of the role, and in supporting business owners with some of the most important events and transactions of their lifetime. Building a detailed understanding of both elements will ensure I can help each business owner achieve their personal and commercial objectives.”
Michael McCulloch, corporate finance partner at RMT Accountants & Business Advisors, adds: “Matthew has built up an enviable range of commercial experience and knowledge through his career so far, and he is an excellent addition to our growing corporate finance team.”
