Deloitte has appointed Steve Almond as the
global chairman of the network.

Almond will succeed John Connolly, who is
retiring as global chairman and UK chief executive at beginning of
May.

Almond has worked as deputy chief executive of
Deloitte UK and is the global network’s managing director for
audit.

Barry Salzberg has already been appointed as
the global chief executive to succeed Jim Quigley in June.

Almond will be based in London as he takes on
the global role.
