Forvis Mazars appoints UK director of people and culture

Forvis Mazars has announced the appointment of Tatham Crawford-Lennox as its new director of people and culture in the UK. 

In leading the firm’s people and culture division, Crawford-Lennox will be overseeing a team of over 80 people and build upon the firm’s progress in creating a “diverse, inclusive and engaged” team that prioritises quality.

A chartered occupational psychologist with experience in shaping HR strategy and company culture in large organisations, Crawford-Lennox joins the firm from PwC. 

In her new role, she will also be responsible for designing and implementing a strategy which closely aligns Forvis Mazars’ values and purpose with the daily lived experience of its people at every stage in their career journey.

It comes as Forvis Mazars aims to put people at the heart of its development, demonstrating measurable successes against these goals. 

The firm’s latest mean gender pay gap continues a downwards trend to 5.2%, with a mean ethnicity pay gap of just 0.8%. Following consistent promotion of its 11 employee diversity and faith networks, membership has grown by 53% in the past year. 

Margaret Laidlaw, head of people and member of the UK executive board at Forvis Mazars, said: “Being inclusive is core to our approach as a firm, and that is why we are excited to have Tatham join us as our new director of people and culture. 

“We look forward to seeing her contribution in shaping and developing our culture to further reflect the values that we are so proud of.”
