Richard Houston, UK and North and South Europe senior partner and chief executive, said: “Our 2019 results reflect the long-term investment we have been making across our business and, in particular, in audit quality and the training, technology and talent required to support it. This investment has helped us succeed in the market and improved the financial performance of our audit business. “We’ve also made strong progress this year on our purpose agenda. For example, our female partner promotions were up threefold, and we supported over 416,000 people get access to education and employment through our social impact strategy.” He added: “It’s a huge privilege to be leading Deloitte and these results are a testament to our talented people and the progress we have made. But I want us to go further - ensuring we are making a positive impact in all of the work we do - with clients, our people, and importantly across the many communities in which we work. “Among my priorities in the months and years ahead will be an unequivocal focus on workplace culture and inclusion. I want Deloitte to be a strong representation of society, with a diversity of thought and experience, which will only improve how we serve our clients.”
