Deloitte promotes seven to partner in Scotland

Deloitte has announced that it has promoted seven of its people to partner across its Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen offices, including four women.

Jennifer Donnachie, Laura MacDougall, Lyndsay MacGregor, Marc McNulty and Paul Cowley have been promoted in Glasgow, alongside Patrick Werner in Edinburgh and Sarah McGavin in Aberdeen.

These appointments come as part of Deloitte’s nationwide round of 60 new partner promotions in 2025, of which one third (33%) are women, bringing the overall proportion of female partners in the UK to 31%.

Six of the newly promoted partners began their careers with Deloitte, progressing through the graduate pathway. Donnachie and MacGregor joined as graduates in the tax team, while MacDougall, Werner, Cowley and McGavin followed the audit and assurance route.

In total, 495 people have been promoted within Deloitte’s Scottish practice this year, including 13 who have been appointed to director.

These promotions follow the appointments of Hazel Gray and David Mitchell as new office senior partners for Aberdeen and Glasgow respectively.

Angela Mitchell, practice senior partner for Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: “I’d like to extend my congratulations to this year’s partners on their well-earned promotions. These appointments reflect their expertise, commitment and leadership, and it is particularly encouraging to see so many of our new partners having started their careers as graduates, highlighting the firm’s focus on developing talent from within.

“I’d also like to acknowledge all of our people who have been promoted across our Scottish offices this year, including those who have stepped up to director. Their achievements reflect the depth of talent we are proud to nurture across the business. As we continue to grow our presence across Scotland, we remain focused on developing the talent and leadership that will shape the future of our business.”
