Andy Westbrook, practice senior partner for Deloitte in the North West, said: “We want to substantially grow our practice in the North West and Embankment is the perfect place for us to set down roots as we further commit to Manchester and the wider region. Our headcount has grown by more than 150 people in the last year alone and we have plans to recruit a further 750 people over the next three years.
“This new space also aligns with our commitments to sustainability, wellbeing and digital connectivity. We will create an inspiring and flexible workplace where our people and clients can connect and collaborate. Its central location makes the office easily accessible via a variety of viable transport options and I am looking forward to designing and shaping our new home with our people.”
The news comes as Deloitte recently announced 326 promotions across its North West practice ahead of its new financial year, including seven promotions to partner, one to associate partner, one to senior director, and a further 19 people to director.
