Grant Thornton UK has said it plans to recruit 160 new partners over the next two years, with an aim to “redefine the competitive landscape and reshape the future of its business”.
The announcement comes just over six months since the firm completed it landmark deal with private equity firm Cinven.
Grant Thornton explained its new UK partner model breaks with tradition in the sector, offering a balance of in-year and long-term incentive reward. Typically, this unlocks partner reward with a 50% premium to market rate, which is then backed up by new, market-leading tailored onboarding and development programmes.
Malcolm Gomersall, CEO of Grant Thornton UK, said: “2025 has been a transformative year for our firm, as we reimagined what the multi-disciplinary professional services partnership of the future should look like – combining equity ownership with external investment from Cinven to unlock unprecedented competitiveness.”
