Azets UK makes 122 mid-year promotions

International business advisory group Azets has made 122 mid-year promotions at all levels in its UK business, including ten new partners and directors.

Notably, 60% of these senior promotions have been awarded to women, reflecting “progress in improving gender representation” in leadership roles within the firm.

Partner Noel Hankinson has been promoted to regional managing partner (RMP) for the North West region, while Joshua Vincent becomes partner in Accounting and Business Advisory Services (ABAS).

Eight new directors include Jessica Barry, Hannah Mitchell, Caroline Morgan, Keith Porterfield (ABAS), Francesca Bailey, Jon Huggins (Corporate Finance), Louise Phillips (Value Added Tax), and Ed Cliff (Audit and Assurance).

Peter Gallanagh, UK CEO at Azets, said: “This latest round of promotions reflects the exceptional depth of talent we have at Azets. Our people are the driving force behind our success, and it’s fantastic to see so many colleagues progressing in their careers and stepping into new leadership roles.

“As we continue to grow and support the evolving needs of our clients, investing in our people remains a priority. It’s particularly encouraging to see more women stepping into senior positions, reflecting the progress we’re making in improving diversity at leadership level in what remains a traditionally male-dominated profession. There’s more work to do, but this is an important step in the right direction. On behalf of everyone at Azets, I’d like to congratulate all 122 colleagues on their well-earned success.”
