Accountancy firm posts biggest growth in a decade

Deloitte, the business advisory firm, has recorded a 13.6 per cent turnover growth over the last 12 months – the fastest increase for the firm in a decade.

UK Group recorded revenues of £3.04bn for the year ended 31 May 2016-1, a double digit increase on last year. This represents the sixth consecutive revenue rise for Deloitte, which has seen growth across all five of its business areas.

It has also been a strong year for the firm’s Midlands practice, which saw year-on-year growth continue for the sixth consecutive year. In addition, the Midlands practice welcomed 185 new people via hire, graduate and apprenticeship routes and promoted five of its people to partner.

Alistair Pritchard, office senior partner for Deloitte in Nottingham, said: “I’m very proud of the contribution that the East Midlands practice has made to the overall growth of our firm over the last twelve months.

“The success we have had reflects the strength of businesses here in the East Midlands, a great track record of securing new clients through demonstrating the value we can bring to them, and the outstanding people we have. We will continue to invest in our talent, both current and future recruits.”
