Financial services firm KPMG has appointed three new partners in its Birmingham office.

Beccy Fenton, who specialises in healthcare, has been promoted to partner alongside Nick Harrison, a management consultant, and Matt Collinson who specialises in pensions advisory.

The moves are part of a wider series of promotions across the firm which has seen 52 new members appointed to the partnership, including 29 international promotions, which have taken the national total to 613.

Midlands regional chairman Mike Steventon said: "Investing in our people is crucial to develop talent and ensure we have a strong and varied skill set in our team, and we have done that with our new partner appointments at One Snowhill.

"Beccy, Nick and Matt have a wealth of experience and knowledge to help us deliver our growth plans in the Midlands and meet the increased demand for our services in the region."

UK chairman Simon Collins added: "This year's new partner intake reflects our optimism for growth over the coming months and years ahead.

"We continue to see high demand for our services from the wide range of businesses in the financial services industry and, accordingly, a third of our newly promoted partners are specialists in this sector.

"I am confident that this year's partner appointments put us in a strong position to address the business issues and opportunities our clients want to tackle most."
