Leading audit, tax and consulting firm RSM UK has announced six director promotions across the North West, demonstrating the firm’s ongoing commitment to growing and developing talent within its own ranks.
The six director promotions in the North West include Jake Hodgson (transactions tax), Anna Haworth (employer solutions tax), Kathy Hobbs (sustainability consulting) in Manchester, alongside Ellie Acton in Liverpool (corporate development), Jack Bentham in Preston (transactions tax) and Alex Hire in Stoke (governance, risk management and internal control).
RSM’s newly appointed directors in the North West are among 24 promotions to director across the national firm, with many based outside London, including 10 in the North of England.
Hundreds more staff have been promoted into roles to help drive growth and invest in existing talent, as RSM aims to be a first-choice employer for highly skilled professionals, and a leading advisor to middle market firms globally.
Kevin Duffy, regional managing partner for RSM UK, said: “I want to congratulate our new directors on reaching this milestone in their careers. Their promotions reflect their hard work and talent, as well as RSM’s commitment to supporting our people and investing in their development.
“I am immensely proud of our North West directors and have found it very rewarding to be part of their careers so far, watching them develop in confidence and skill. I look forward to seeing them step into their new roles and help us shape the future of our firm.
He added: “With nearly 50% of our newly promoted directors based in the North of England, this shows our commitment to developing local talent across our UK-wide network of offices and deliver a premium service to our clients in the middle market locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.”
Rob Donaldson, CEO at RSM UK, added: “We’re thrilled to announce a talented group of newly promoted directors from across the country as part of our ongoing drive to invest in our people. As the economy continues to improve, it’s our highly skilled teams that will drive growth, increase productivity and help RSM to become first choice advisers to middle market leaders.
“Each promotion is testimony to the hard work, dedication and commitment of each individual, and I’m particularly proud to see gender parity within our new cohort of directors.”
