PwC names new Scotland market leader and more than 130 promotions

Fraser Wilson has been confirmed as the new market leader north of the Border while the firm has also welcomed two new partners - Lauren Atkins and Jamie Drysdale - both based in Edinburgh.

The appointments form part of a wider promotion round, with 133 colleagues advancing across PwC’s Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow offices, including two new managing directors and 13 directors.

Wilson said: “Seeing 133 of our colleagues across Scotland step into new roles is a real reflection of the strength, ambition and momentum we have as a business.

“There’s a huge amount of opportunity across Scotland right now. Whether it’s supporting the transformation of our financial services sector, helping businesses harness technology and AI, or playing a role in the energy transition, our clients are navigating significant change.

“That creates real potential for growth and impact, supporting Scotland’s economic growth ambitions. Our newly promoted colleagues will be at the heart of that - bringing fresh perspectives, deep expertise and the energy needed to help our clients seize those opportunities and build for the future.”

Atkins has joined the partnership and leads audits across the asset and wealth management sector. She has been with the firm for 13 years and has extensive experience within the financial services sector.

Drysdale leads the operations transformation practice in the insurance sector and has been promoted to partner in the consulting practice, bringing some 25 years of advisory experience to clients.
