PwC has appointed Simon Perry to succeed Brendan McMahon as senior partner. Mr McMahon has held the position since 2012 and will leave the firm in 2018.

Mr Perry has been a partner with PwC since 2005 and has worked in the firm's practices in Sydney, London and the Channel Islands.

He 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.”
