KPMG gears up for postlockdown growth
Business services heavyweight KPMG has promoted 53 people across its Scottish operations as it gears up for post-lockdown growth.
The firm, which employs more than 1,200 people in Scotland, has promoted 14 assistant managers, 25 managers, 11 senior managers and three new directors.
Bosses at the Big Four accountancy practice said the promotions came at a “pivotal moment” as the firm reports a significant increase in activity across all areas of its business.
Last month, KPMG predicted that Scotland’s wider economy could re-gain ground lost in the pandemic within two years, slightly outpacing the return to growth elsewhere in the UK.
Catherine Burnet, the firm’s regional chair in Scotland, said: “There’s a growing sense that Scotland’s economy is beginning to move again. As restrictions continue to ease and businesses open back up, we should start to see a significant uptick in wider business activity.”
