Nigel Bostock joined Crowe in 1991 as a graduate trainee, progressing to partner in 2005. In 2013 he became managing partner of the London office and was invited on to the firm’s Executive team, which he now leads since being appointed Chief Executive in 2017. Nigel also sits on Crowe’s Global board; an influential role in shaping the strategy of the top 8 global professional services network, while ensuring the interests of the UK firm, its people and clients are represented. During his 27 years at Crowe, Nigel has worked in London and Manchester specialising in the audit of corporates and LLPs, advising a wide range of large, private and SME clients. His expertise, further enhanced by his tax experience and combined with his all-round business acumen, means Nigel understands the challenges facing a diverse client base in the UK and globally. People experience Under Nigel’s leadership Crowe has seen many positive developments. He reshaped the Executive team, broadening its members for greater geographical representation and diversity, to continue to promote a culture of quality and ensure strong leadership within Crowe’s different practice areas. Crowe has many talented people, and through the firm’s unique ethos they are supported to reach their potential. Nigel sees the critical importance of training and development for people at all levels to enable their growth aspirations. He has experienced first- hand the firm’s longstanding approach to developing talent from within, which is why he remains a keen champion of Crowe’s development programmes. Quality services in a changing landscape As the market we work in continues to change, clients are becoming more wide-ranging and the business climate continues to be competitive. In recognition of the evolving landscape, Crowe has a consistency of values that allow for the delivery of high quality services. Nigel led on the decision to rebrand the firm to Crowe UK to align it more closely with the global network, which provides access to over 35,000 people, supporting clients wherever they operate. There is a demand from business for more innovative approaches to audit, increased data science and global reach is an ever increasing feature. In an entrepreneurial market, the demand for services to be delivered efficiently, effectively and digitally, in a way that adds value to business and personal service, creates both opportunities and threats. There is also an increasing focus on cross border business looking for a coordinated approach to their accounting needs, and inbound opportunities for such services remain; fuelling Nigel’s commitment to drive a culture of cross-border client solutions in a globally connected way.
