PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is the largest professional services firm in the UK. We have been serving clients in Yorkshire since 1928 and currently have over 800 highly qualified staff dedicated to providing clients with exceptional levels of service and advice. In Yorkshire, we have offices in Leeds, Hull and Sheffield.

Our assurance, tax and advisory teams are based in the region for the region - and we believe that they offer a better service as a result. Our Leeds office also serves clients from further afield, which gives us a broader business perspective and access to a pool of expertise and experience which enables us to provide you with the breadth and depth of service you expect.

Some of the key highlights in our Yorkshire and the North East practice over the last 12 months include:
• PwC in Yorkshire and the North East grew turnover to over £110m reflecting growth of 8% on last year.
• Growth was particularly strong in performance improvement consulting (35%) and tax (9.1%)
• PricewaterhouseCoopers in the region now has a circa 50% market share of the published audit and non-audit fees of the region's listed companies.
• The firm's practice in the region has 70 partners and directors and over 700 staff, based in offices in Leeds, Hull and Sheffield.
• PwC was named The Times number one top employer for the fifth year running and over 70 new graduates joined in the region.

Excellence, teamwork and leadership are the cornerstones of our business, and all our people strive to deliver a quality service - based on transparency and integrity - in everything that they do.

We are proud of our links with the wider community, and support a number of different associations and organisations in the region. Across our three offices in Yorkshire and the Humber, we have developed a proactive community affairs program focused on creative and active partnerships in the communities where we have a presence.

Ongoing projects include Volunteer Reading Help, Young Enterprise and businessdynamics. As part of our ongoing support for business in the community we are also involved with the Leeds, Hull and Sheffield Cares Action Days and mentoring. Over the last year, PwC has supported a number of local organisations including Jane's Appeal, Martin House, St Oswald's Hospice and Breast Cancer Haven.
