Deloitte, the major professional services firm, plans to create up to 100 new jobs in the North of England with the launch of a regional deals unit. This expansion follows Prime Minister Andy Burnham's establishment of No 10 North in Manchester, a centre to promote regional economic growth. The new unit, known as Deloitte’s Deal Transformation North, will be based in Manchester and Leeds, with a focus on providing complex M&A transaction services.
Adam Batson, Deloitte director and lead for deal transformation North, explained that clients need access to specialist expertise for increasingly complex M&A transactions. Currently, 100 people work on M&A-related services in Manchester and Leeds, and this new unit will double that headcount. Deloitte’s managing partner for strategy, risk, and transactions advisory, Dave Sharman, emphasized the firm's commitment to growing its advisory group outside London, leveraging talent across the UK to build market-leading teams and deliver specialist expertise to clients wherever they are based.
