Deloitte welcomes North West talent

Professional services firm Deloitte has welcomed 111 graduates, apprentices and industrial placement students to its North West practice as it continues to invest in developing regional talent.

The new recruits have joined teams across audit and assurance, tax and legal, strategy, risk and transactions advisory, and technology and transformation.

They form part of Deloitte’s wider UK early careers intake, with more than 1500 people joining the firm this year across its graduate, apprenticeship, industrial placement and technical academy programmes.

The intake includes 1353 graduates, apprentices and placement students, alongside 130 individuals progressing from technical academies into Deloitte’s technology teams, with a further 20 set to join the academies.

New recruits are based across 21 UK locations, with 44 per cent of the 1353 graduate, apprentice and placement starters beginning their careers outside London.

The latest intake follows continued investment in Deloitte’s North West operations, where the firm announced 438 promotions in June, including 22 senior promotions and two new partners.

Jo Ahmed MBE, practice senior partner for Deloitte North West, said: “The North West is central to the UK’s conversation on growth and skills.

“The region combines a deep talent pool, world-class universities and some of the country’s most exciting companies. 

“It is firmly established as an ideal place to start and build a career.

“By continuing to invest in early careers talent, we're developing the skills and expertise that will support the long-term growth of our practice and our clients. 

“Those that have joined us this autumn will work with ambitious organisations and contribute to projects that are shaping the future of the region. 

“Their skills, perspectives and ambition will play an important role in our success in the years ahead.”
