KPMG unveils new Head of Enterprise for the Midlands
KPMG has revealed the successor to Stephen Craik as its Head of Enterprise for the Midlands.
Ian Borley will officially succeed Mr Craik when he retires from the firm next year. However, the appointment is with immediate effect to allow for a smooth transition.
Enterprise, which is KPMG’s offering for privately-owned businesses, was launched in the Midlands under Mr Craik’s leadership in 2014 and has grown significantly during the last two years.
Alongside his existing responsibilities as Senior Partner for the East Midlands, Mr Borley will build on KPMG’s existing presence in the region using his significant experience to work with privately-owned and private equity-backed businesses.
Mr Borley has strong links with local businesses and the business community. Outside of his day job, he is a member of the CBI’s East Midlands Regional Council and he was recently named Leicestershire’s Non-Executive Director of 2016.
Mike Steventon, Midlands Regional Chair at KPMG, said: “Ian has an impressive background working with businesses in the private and public sectors, and his knowledge will provide invaluable insight and advice for clients. He has worked with some of the most successful brands in the local market and we’re confident we have the right people in place to continue driving our business forward.”
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Borley added: “The Enterprise market in the region is booming and we expect to see further significant growth in the future. However, it’s likely that turbulent times are ahead following the Brexit vote and the US Presidential Election result, and careful planning and tactics are essential if privately-owned businesses are going to continue to thrive.
“Now, more than ever, these businesses need access to the best possible advice, from professionals who really understand the issues and who are proactive in bringing relevant, value-adding solutions to their clients.
“I’m really looking forward to leading the KPMG Enterprise team through these challenges, and working more closely with businesses across the region.”
