PwC in the Channel Islands has appointed Simon Perry as its new Senior Partner.
He will take on the role from 1 January 2018, succeeding Brendan McMahon who has held the position since 2012.
A Partner with PwC since 2005, Simon has had a wide variety of roles within the firm so far, including time in PwC’s offices in Sydney, London and across the Channel Islands.
His most recent role was as a Partner on secondment to PwC’s London office since 2013, leading the UK Asset and Wealth Management Advisory business. While in the UK, he maintained responsibility for leading due diligence transaction work for Guernsey and Jersey and listing projects on major stock exchanges including the London Stock Exchange, the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), Euronext and The International Stock Exchange (TISE).
Simon said: “I’m honoured to have been appointed Senior Partner of PwC in the Channel Islands. This is an exciting time for the firm and it’s a privilege to lead what is a fantastic team of professionals working in Guernsey, Jersey and Alderney. I’m genuinely delighted to have the opportunity to lead the strategic thinking for our business both locally and within the wider PwC network, as we work together to take our firm from strength to strength.”
“I also pay tribute to Brendan’s leadership, which coincided with our move into our new offices in Jersey five years ago. He has led the firm with vision and embraced innovation at a time of increasing regulation and compliance, changes to business practices and the rise of digital, so ensuring we are ideally positioned to better serve our clients.”
Commenting on the announcement of his successor, Brendan McMahon said: “I’ve seen at first hand Simon’s energy, enthusiasm and commitment to our clients and people. He has made a significant contribution to the leadership of the firm since his appointment as Partner 12 years ago and I’m indebted to him for many years of support. Simon brings a wealth of exceptional qualities, experience and skills to lead the firm to continued success and I’m fully confident that he will steer PwC to even greater things in the future.”
