While we’re making progress in a number of areas, we have more to do. I am proud of the strength of our commitment and focus to further develop the diversity and inclusion of our workforce.” He added: “We are committed to continually developing and progressing our people in their careers. Across our business we’re promoting more than 700 of our people, which reflects the confidence we have in our potential to grow, and help our clients.I’m proud that KPMG is a firm that the most talented people want to join and develop their career with. “This year we hired a record number of graduates and apprentices, and were recognised as a top graduate employer. I’d like to congratulate all our newly appointed partners and directors and our colleagues who have been recently promoted. I wish them every success in their roles.”
