Deloitte UK has announced the promotion of more than 6,000 employees, including 48 new partners.
The company also noted that average in-grade salaries will rise by 4.2% and its bonus pool will increase by 14% across the UK business.
Deloitte UK people and purpose managing partner Jackie Henry said: “We are hugely proud of the role our people play in the firm’s success and pleased to recognise the contribution of our highest-performing colleagues with an increase in promotions and bonuses this year.
“This is alongside our existing competitive reward packages and market-leading benefits including private medical insurance, enhanced family policies, flexible bank holidays, and world-class learning and development opportunities.”
As part of an ongoing reshaping of the partnership, 68 salaried partners become equity partners.
This will take the total number of UK partners to 1,308, of whom 784 will be equity partners – the highest equity total since Deloitte LLP was formed in 2003.
The company added that out of the 48 new partners, 15 are in technology and transformation, 16 in tax and legal, ten in strategy, risk and transactions advisory, and seven in audit and assurance.
Deloitte said 31% of its new partners are based outside London. Around 29% of them work in financial services.
The company also hired 21 external partners between June 2025 and the end of May 2026. Of these, 38% are women and 19% are from an ethnic minority background.
Deloitte UK outgoing CEO Richard Houston said: “This significant investment in our people and our partnership reflects a very strong year for our firm and our confidence in the future.”
Houston, who is taking up the role of Deloitte EMEA CEO, was succeeded on 1 June by Darren Graves.
