Deloitte UK has announced that it has promoted 60 new people to the position of partner.
The firm’s tax and legal business has promoted 17 new partners, alongside 15 in audit and assurance, 14 in technology and transformation, and 14 in strategy, risk and transactions advisory.
In addition, Deloitte has converted 77 people from salaried to equity partner, more than double the prior year, which stood at 29.
Of the new partner promotions, 20 (33%) are women, with the total number of Deloitte’s women partners now standing at 421 (31% of partners). Furthermore, 40% of the promotions are people based outside of London.
The promotions include nine new partners from ethnic minority backgrounds, equating to 15% of the promotions. Of those, one new partner is black. The overall figure of partners from an ethnic minority background is now 12% and the firm’s overall figure of black partners remains at 1%.
Deloitte also recruited 20 new external hires at partner level in the UK during the financial year from June 2024 to the end of May 2025. Of the 20, 12 (60%) are women and six (30%) are from an ethnic minority background.
Jackie Henry, managing partner, people and purpose at Deloitte UK, said: “Congratulations to all newly promoted partners and colleagues. This is a recognition of their dedication to serving our clients and leading our people in their respective markets.
“We’re committed to building a diverse leadership team and so we’re pleased to have exceeded our 2025 target for women, and met our ethnic minority target. However, we recognise there’s more work to do, particularly in increasing black representation at partner level where we have not met our 2025 target.”
Richard Houston, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte UK, added: “Our partnership remains critical to our firm’s culture and success in the market. Alongside our annual partner promotions, we have significantly increased the number of equity partners. This is a sign of our confidence in our firm’s future and the growth opportunities ahead.”
