S-RM cuts ribbon on new Manchester office

Manchester, 12 April 2023 – Leading global intelligence and cyber security consultancy S-RM has today announced the opening of its new office location in Manchester. This will be S-RM’s second UK hub and creates a strategic regional presence in the North for S-RM’s growing portfolio of clients, partners, and employees.

The expansion brings the company’s global presence to nine offices globally. The new Manchester office will initially house 12 employees across S-RM’s sales, finance, and central operations functions and, in future, consultants from the Corporate Intelligence and Cyber practices.

The new office opening in Manchester also marks a significant step in S-RM’s longer term strategic vision. With a presence in a Top 20 European Digital City – now home to GCHQ, a £10m Digital Security Hub, and the UK’s fastest-growing cyber ecosystem – S-RM will have access to the city’s wealth of talent, as well as its pioneering advancements in cyber and tech innovation.

Located at 11 York Street, a Grade A office building only a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens, the new office officially opens this evening with a drinks mixer for staff and will be operational immediately. S-RM’s neighbours in the building include Rolls-Royce SMR, Teneo, Avison Young and Gilbanks.

The Manchester office will be headed by Chief Finance Officer Kelly Rogers-Davison and Chief Revenue Officer John Kemp.

Kelly Rogers-Davison, Chief Finance Officer at S-RM, comments:

“Opening our new office in Manchester gives us access to the fantastic pool of local talent and access to an increasingly prominent hub of cyber security and business in UK. We’re delighted to be extending our footprint outside London, so we can better serve our clients in the region, and be on the ground closer to their offices and businesses.

“It’s an exciting time to see our company grow and there will be plenty more positive news to come as we expand the team and our client base in the local area.”

John Kemp, Chief Revenue Officer at S-RM, adds:

“We’re excited to be planting our flag in Manchester with this new office opening. The city has a wealth of leading strategic partners across law, insurance and technology and this move will see S-RM perfectly placed to support these valued partners with cyber security, intelligence and advisory services.

“Having grown up in Cheshire, I’m thrilled that Manchester won our selection process for the new location and looking forward to the new business opportunities and cyber capabilities that being based in the city will bring for our business.”
