PwC reveals annual promotions
PwC has announced further investment in its senior team in the Midlands with the admission of four new partners and 13 newly-promoted directors.
Rebecca Clayton, a deals valuations specialist, and Alan Caroll, an international tax partner, have been promoted to partner in the Birmingham office.
In addition to these senior appointments and promotions, 161 PwC employees have also been promoted across the Midlands as of July 1.
Along with some 260 new recruits in Autumn 2017, the firm also saw 35 new graduates and apprentices join the practice in April, with 40% BAME intake and 43% females.
Matthew Hammond, Midlands Region Chairman for PwC, said: “We are proud of our diverse and inclusive workforce and continue to invest in colleagues at all levels to achieve our growth ambitions and meets clients’ needs.
“In order to provide the highest standards and quality to our clients our people are drawn from a broad range of skills, backgrounds and experiences, and that’s exactly what our new partners represent.”
Nationally, PwC UK has admitted 54 equity partners, an increase from 31 the previous year.
26% of the new partners are female, edging up the gender diversity of PwC UK’s partnership to 19.4%.
Laura Hinton, chief people officer at PwC, said: “It’s really positive to see such a diverse group of partners coming through. The fact that more of our new partners work part-time and didn’t go to university demonstrates our commitment to making PwC a place where anyone can succeed and will hopefully provide some inspiring role models for the next generation.”
