Half of the new directors will be based in Edinburgh, four in Glasgow and two in Aberdeen. A further 214 team members across Scotland have also received promotions.

“It’s been a really strong twelve months for the firm in Scotland, and that is testament to the hard work of our teams in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen," regional leader Jason Morris said. "Our people are our business, and I’m incredibly proud to see so many talented team members progressing in their careers with us.

“I’m also thrilled to welcome Craig to the team in Scotland - he’s delivered outstanding work for PwC in the north of England and his admission to the partnership is well-deserved."

“The strength of our performance over the past year is down to the excellent work our people deliver consistently," Mr Morris added. "I’m in no doubt that our newly-promoted team members will bring fresh perspectives and new ideas that will strengthen our capabilities across the industries and markets our Scottish teams serve on a local, national and global level.”
