As part of the latest round of promotions, Sarah Brown and Gordon Docherty have joined the partnership.

With over 17 years of experience, including a period leading the firm’s accounting advisory services team across the Midlands, Docherty has been appointed as a partner within KPMG’s audit practice.

Her previous experience includes working with social housing providers, local authorities and other publicly funded organisations.

She said: “I am thrilled to be leading our public sector audit offering across the Midlands & South West as we continue to strengthen our growing team. The majority of 2020 has been incredibly challenging with Covid-19, and I’m really proud to be working with a team dedicated to ensure that public sector organisations can continue to provide the vital services that so many rely on every day.”
