I’m looking forward to acting as an ambassador for our business, and importantly, collaborating with colleagues to continue to build a sense of community here at RSM and with the wider region. Thanks to Kate’s leadership over the last decade, the Bristol office has already seen significant growth during this time, so I’m excited to extend our market presence further to benefit our clients.”

She understands what businesses and their people need which is valuable experience to take into the managing partner role.
