John Connolly, Deloitte Senior Partner and Chief Executive, commented:

“Overall business performance was satisfactory in extremely tough markets. Supporting our clients has been our absolute priority and we have placed particular emphasis on bringing a broad range of skills to clients faced with a range of increasingly complex challenges. Many clients have benefited from our ‘Winning. In Challenging Markets and Beyond’ approach.

“Alongside our service to clients, Deloitte is proud to have extended its contribution to the community this year. Our support for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is undiminished and we launched an innovative second Deloitte Ignite festival with the Royal Opera House. Our environmental leadership included participation in the pre-Copenhagen climate change meeting of Nobel Laureates.

“Looking forward, we anticipate only a fragile and slow recovery, and our success will continue to be the product of our exceptionally talented people being relentlessly committed to our clients, to market leading, innovative service and to an obsession with quality.”
