Andy Hodge is Deloitte’s new UK Head of Tax
Deloitte has named Andrew Hodge as the new managing partner of its Tax practice. Hodge, who is currently head of Deloitte’s UK and EMEA global employer services businesses, takes over from David Sproul, who will succeed John Connolly as chief executive and senior partner of Deloitte in June 2011.
David Sproul comments: “I am pleased to announce that Andrew Hodge will succeed me as leader of the UK tax practice. Andrew has led our employer and personal taxes business since 2006 and I have no doubt that he will bring the same energy and focus to this new role. We are very fortunate that we had a number of extraordinarily strong candidates to select from and each of them will continue to make a significant contribution to the future success of our tax practice.
“We are moving into a very exciting time for our Firm and tax practice as the UK economy moves out of recession, the Government moves forward with its growth agenda and the global agenda for our clients and our own business becomes ever more relevant.”
Andrew Hodge comments: “I am delighted and very proud to have been asked to lead the tax practice. David has made an outstanding contribution to the practice over the last five years and I look forward to building upon that success.
“We find ourselves in the midst of a new tax landscape for businesses and individuals alike; one in which we are seeing tax driven high up on the boardroom and personal agenda. We aim to offer our clients a consistently high quality of tax advice and expertise underpinned by continuing to attract and invest in the highest calibre of talent to create a depth of specialist tax knowledge that is second to none.”
