First full week, and a busy start to the year. This week we have been focused on helping our clients and target clients with #accounting changes to broaden their knowledge and remain at the forefront of this rapidly changing industry. With two technical sessions delivered across the #north this week in #manchester and #leeds #technicalaccounting #fraud #esg #knowledgesharing From a #macroeconomics perspective EY Leeds Office Managing Partner Tim West and I recently had the opportunity to reflect on 2023, while looking ahead to the new year with Insider Media. Great to see the coverage this week titled “Green Shoots in the UK deals market”   There’s no doubt that last year presented a range of challenges to businesses, not least given the headwinds that faced the M&A market. However, we’re proud to say that in spite of a turbulent economic backdrop, EY once again achieved record UK revenues in 2023, with teams across the #north playing a crucial part in that. On a personal note, I’m especially pleased that our #eyprivate business also saw some excellent growth last year – something we’re really looking forward to building on in 2024 with our newly expanded team. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eNherQpt   #EY #Business #Yorkshire #North #Deals #privatebusiness #buildingabetterworkingworld #greenshoots Stephen Church Suzanne Robinson Ben Coggin Rebecca Rennison Mark Clephan Tom Klouda Tim Vance Tom Cowling Sarah Brown Georgina Knockton Adam Barraclough Cara Clancy Nicola Bamford Ben Wildsmith Helen Spence Dave Fry Charles King John Sumpton Tom Holroyde Terry Seagreaves Abdul Basit Moosani Sophia Szlachetko Sally Barrett
