Head of Business Restructuring Services, PwC UK

"From my years of restructuring experience, I have seen how truly diverse skill sets and backgrounds, brought to bear into client situations, can make a massive difference. And with interest in ESG increasing exponentially, it's clearly an issue on all of our clients’ agendas."

David Kelly

Markets and Services Lead, Business Restructuring Services, PwC UK

"I was keen to understand the benefits of incorporating diversity and inclusion within change management and corporate turnaround. As I investigated, I was really surprised that there was limited empirical evidence out there in the market and so I am pleased that we were able to commission this first survey of diversity and inclusion, but also ESG across the financial community here in the UK."
