KMPG announces raft of promotions in South West

Big Four accountancy firm KPMG has announced 59 promotions in its Bristol and Plymouth offices including a new director. The company said the promotions demonstrated the firm's "continued investment" to the South West region.

Rob Andrews has been promoted to director in the audit function, while 14 further employees have been promoted to senior manager, 13 to manager, and 31 to assistant manager.

The promotions span the full breadth of services provided by the firm, which said the move was underpinned by the "successful growth of the business" and increased client demand over the last year. KPMG UK currently employs around 550 professionals in the West Country.

Ian Brokenshire, South West senior partner at KPMG UK, said: “We’re delighted to recognise the hard work of our colleagues this year. This investment is on the back of KPMG South West being one of the fastest-growing regions in KPMG and these promotions acknowledge the talent we have across the various functions of the firm.”

“Investing in our colleagues and rewarding hard work is vital to ensuring that we can continue to support our clients through the challenging business landscape. The promotions further reflect our commitment to having a strong market presence in the South West.”

In April, KPMG made a number of regional appointments, including Iain Prince, Ian Wood, Jon Brown, Simon Robinson, David Harris, and Roger Gadd to the position of partner.

The firm said the promotions are part of plans to expand its presence in the region and follow the a recent move to a larger office space in Plymouth in the grade-I listed, ex-naval site Royal William Yard.
