Martin Jenkins, practice senior partner in Yorkshire and North East, said: “Whilst the market environment has continued to present challenges, the economic tide has clearly turned and we are seeing confidence increase and willingness to invest across our client base, especially as liquidity has been strong in both debt and equity capital markets.

“Our practice in Yorkshire has seen growth across all businesses and our strategy of investing to grow our practice is reflected in the progress we have made in key sectors for our region such as financial services, manufacturing, consumer business and the public sector. Looking ahead, we expect that better economic conditions will result in significant improvements across our markets.”

He added that Deloitte had seen an increase in mergers and acquisitions.
