Paul Cowley brings extensive experience to his new position, having dedicated 28 years to the firm.

Overall, Deloitte’s Scottish practice has seen 495 individuals promoted this year, with 13 advancing to director roles.

Earlier in 2025, Hazel Gray and David Mitchell were appointed as the new senior partners for the Aberdeen and Glasgow offices, respectively.

In addition, Deloitte’s Aberdeen team has recently transitioned to a new office in the city centre, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to strengthening its footprint in key markets across Scotland.

Deloitte Scotland and Northern Ireland Practice senior partner Angela Mitchell said: “These appointments reflect their expertise, commitment and leadership, and it is particularly encouraging to see so many of our new partners having started their careers as graduates, highlighting the firm’s focus on developing talent from within.

“I’d also like to acknowledge all of our people who have been promoted across our Scottish offices this year, including those who have stepped up to director. Their achievements reflect the depth of talent we are proud to nurture across the business.”
