Looking back on a busy year, Grant Thornton has promoted more than 100 new partners in the UK throughout 2025. The shift has come as new backing from the private equity sector has enabled a significant investment in its people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2025 was a historic year for Grant Thornton in the UK. Its local member firm opted \u2013 rather than consolidating into the network \u2013 to forge ahead with the support of private equity firm Cinven<\/a>. Taking on external investment for the first time, the firm has since worked to unlock unprecedented growth.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Grant Thornton significantly scaled its investment in talent and technology, including data and digital mindset training, and introduced industry-leading reward schemes such as its Employee Benefit Trust and exceptional bonus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Most recently, this saw it appoint\u00a020\u00a0new directors and partners in the fourth quarter of\u00a0the year.\u00a0Reinforcing the firm\u2019s commitment to investing in talent as part of its ambitious growth strategy,\u00a0more than 85% of these appointments\u00a0were internal promotions.\u00a0Among\u00a0the\u00a0external\u00a0appointments, the firm announced Chris Stefani as\u00a0its new\u00a0chief financial officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n The firm also introduced an industry-leading partner model that redefines\u00a0its\u00a0reward strategy. The\u00a0new approach\u00a0combines annual incentives with long-term growth rewards, delivering a compelling package that offers a 50% premium over market benchmarks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
