Global accountancy group KPMG has appointed Andrew Hodgson as its office senior partner in Bristol.

Andrew, pictured, has worked for KPMG for 25 years, having started his career in the South East where he worked in the firm’s London and Gatwick offices.

He moved to Bristol 12 years ago and, as corporate finance partner, has identified, structured and executed transactions for clients spanning acquisitions, disposals and private equity deals.

In his new role Andrew will lead the office’s 400-strong team who provide a wide breadth of tax, audit and advisory services to help clients across the West of England achieve their growth plans.

He takes up the post as KPMG prepares to move from its Temple Street base into new flagship offices in Queen Square.

He said: “I feel extremely privileged to be given the opportunity to lead our fantastic Bristol team during a time where confidence amongst West Country businesses is growing strongly and as the economy takes great strides into recovery.

“Our continued investment in people, services and infrastructure, not least the investment in our new Queen Square office, demonstrates our commitment to the region’s businesses. It enables us to provide organisations in the region, whether they are large corporations, privately owned businesses or the public sector, with the support and skills they need to achieve their goals.

“We have a fantastic team in Bristol, but our clients also benefit from access to our wider national and international teams, and we remain committed to delivering the highest quality support that we are renowned for and maintaining our market leading position in the region.”

KPMG South Region chairman Phil Cotton said: “Andrew’s appointment is testament to his impressive leadership skills and the consistent high quality delivery of his client work.

“The extensive range of services we offer and the strong relationships we have with the regional business community will stand us in good stead as we continue to drive growth within the West Country.”
