DELOITTE has appointed three new partners in Scotland in a move the business advisory firm said signalled its commitment to the country. Chris Hunter, Matt Smith and Michael Magnay were among 80 new partners appointed in the latest round in the UK. This left the firm with 35 partners in Scotland. Mr Hunter leads the firm’s audit service for a range of asset management and investment fund clients. As head of Deloitte’s tax depreciation team in Scotland and the North, Mr Smith advises businesses on the relief available for investment in qualifying assets. Mr Magnay works in Deloitte’s restructuring team. Deloitte appointed six employees directors, taking the total number on that grade in Scotland to 45. Kevin Johnson, Michael Caullay and Stephen Pratt won promotion in the audit and risk advisory practice. Tax specialists Hazel Gray and Iain McDonald and Ruth Campbell from the transaction services team also became directors. Steve Williams, senior partner for Scotland and Northern Ireland at Deloitte, said: “This latest round of promotions underlines our investment in, and commitment to, Scotland.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
