Andy Westbrook, Deloitte practice senior partner in the North West, said:
“It’s been yet another outstanding year for growth within our region, which is a direct result of all of the hard work and commitment of our people. There’s been double digit revenue growth, alongside significant growth within our team and across all service-lines, particularly with the doubling of our Consulting North team three years ahead of schedule.
“With both the promotion of our talented people, along with us welcoming a whole new range of talent, there’s plenty to celebrate ahead of the move to our new office at 100 Embankment in Salford’s Greengate Square.”
Deloitte North West
We’ve continued to grow and invest in our dedicated team in the North West, with headcount now at 1,242 people. This represents a 13 per cent increase over the 15-month period starting May 2021 to present.
Notably, we’ve doubled the size of our Consulting North team in FY22, achieving headcount growth targets three years ahead of schedule. The North West has also had the biggest intake of graduates, placements, and apprentices through our BrightStart programme, with 222 people set to join the team by the end of 2022. The North West office has recently seen 326 promotions, with 8 promoted to Partner and 20 to Director.
In the past year we announced our plans for a new state-of-the-art office after signing a 10-year lease for 43,000 sq ft of space at 100 Embankment in Salford. The new office will help to accommodate our forecasted headcount of 1,875 in the North West by May 2025.
We’ve also continued our charity work throughout the region, announcing our newest partnerships with Manchester Youth Zone and the Hive Youth Zone in Birkenhead as part of our 5 Million Futures programme. Our partnerships will allow us to support MYZ and the Hive in creating safe spaces for children, giving them access to a wealth of sport, creative, education and employability skills.
