Deloitte sees strong revenue growth after successful year in the North East

Deloitte has reported revenue of £2.71bn for the year ended 31 May 2015, a 6.4% increase on the previous year’s revenue of £2.55bn.

The professional services saw net revenue, after expenses and disbursements, grew by 6.1% to £2.26bn from £2.13bn in 2014.

In the North East, Deloitte has had a “successful” year, Stephen Hall, Newcastle office senior partner at Deloitte said: “In line with the national picture we can report an excellent year for the firm and our clients in the Newcastle office, with a particular highlight being awarded Accountancy Firm of the Year at this year’s North East Accountancy Awards.

“We act for some of the most innovative, respected and successful organisations in the region, and we’ve been able to add significant value to these businesses over the last 12 months.”

Martin Jenkins, Practice Senior Partner for Yorkshire and the North East, added: “Deloitte’s success is really measured by making an impact that matters on our clients’ success, our people’s careers and the society in which we operate.

“Through our client work, we encourage investment in the UK and help business improve its growth, productivity and efficiency, whilst underpinning trust and confidence in the capital markets. Our audit practice signed more than 16,000 audit reports and our analytics tool, Spotlight, examined in excess of one billion financial records.

“This year, we advised the first new UK high street bank in over 100 years on its retail branch strategy, helped develop a new digital quarter in the former Olympic Park in east London and worked with a Premiership rugby club to turn masses of player data into meaningful intelligence.”

“To support this work, we continue to be one of the largest recruiters in the UK. We employed more than 1,500 graduates, school leavers and interns, along with 3,000 experienced hires. “

In September, Deloitte will be welcoming 13 graduates and two brightstarts to the Newcastle office and are looking to recruit another 50 people into the Centre of Excellence.
