In line with the firm’s membership agreement, the partnership voted for Dunckley to serve a second four-year term from December 2022.

Dunckley began his career at Grant Thornton in 1998 and was first appointed as CEO in December 2018, having held a range of leadership roles in the firm since becoming a partner in 2006. During his first term as CEO, the firm has gone from strength to strength, despite the uncertain trading environment caused by the UK’s departure from the EU and disruptions from the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Under his leadership, the firm has renewed its focus on its core markets, enhanced its approach to quality and united its people behind a shared purpose of ‘doing what’s right ahead of what’s easy.’ Throughout his tenure, Grant Thornton has increased its investment in people and technologies to ensure higher levels of quality, particularly in audit; and adopted tools and resources which facilitated a transition to remote working. In a recent internal survey, the firm’s approach to hybrid working has shown to improve its people’s productivity and mental wellbeing.
