Business advisory firm Deloitte has announced its largest ever wave of 75 partner promotions, including two in Scotland.

Ann Aspinall based in Edinburgh has over 15 years' experience working with major financial services organisations across international markets, and has been at the forefront of the audit quality agenda.

Glasgow-based Mr Sweeney joined Deloitte in 2001 and has played a key role in growing the firm's corporate audit practice, working with listed companies, large international groups and high growth private businesses.

Nearly a third of Deloitte UK's newly promoted partners are female, reflecting the success of measures introduced by the firm. It has now launched a 'return-to-work' scheme, offering a 12-week paid internship to women who have been out of the workforce for between three and six years
