Deloitte reveals new Nottingham boss

Accountancy firm Deloitte has appointed Alistair Pritchard as office senior partner of its Nottingham practice.

Pritchard, who takes over from Neil Cruickshanks, is an audit partner who celebrates his 20th year at the firm this summer. Cruickshanks is stepping down after four year to take a sabbatical.

He starts in his new job on 1 June, but will retain his leadership role on the firm’s Travel, Hospitality and Leisure executive.

“Nottingham continues to attract not just the most promising students from around the world, but increasingly businesses who are relocating staff and creating new jobs in and around the city,” said Pritchard.

Pauline Biddle, practice senior partner for Deloitte in the Midlands, said: “We are very fortunate that in Alistair we have someone that combines breadth and longevity of experience with areas of in-depth industry specialism. He has built up enviable respect across his clients, peers and those individuals – whether in the Midlands or across our global network – with whom he works.”
