Promotions all-round at Deloitte

Deloitte UK has promoted over 6,000 of its staff, and increased the number of its equity partners to a record high.

The Big 4 firm said the promotions are part of the firm’s commitment to competitively reward skills and experience, with average salaries in-grade rising by an average of 4.2% (up from 2.9% in 2025).

Following what it called a very strong financial performance in FY26 the bonus pool will increase by 14% across the business too.

Some 48 people became partners, alongside 68 salaried partners who have been converted to equity partners. This means there are now 784 equity partners in total – the most in Deloitte UK’s history.

Jackie Henry, managing partner, people and purpose at Deloitte UK, 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.”
