PRESS RELEASE : Autumn Statement – PwC Chair Kevin Ellis comments on skills and education [November 2022]

The press release issued by PWC on 17 November 2022.

Kevin Ellis, chair and senior partner at PwC UK, said:

“It’s good to see the Chancellor’s focus on skills and education, and without lots of bitty new initiatives. Instead, the announcement that Sir Michael Barber will review the implementation of a skills reform programme is welcome. We need a big picture approach. Employers like PwC that rely on a strong pipeline of talent will be keen to support this important work, which links to other priorities including today’s renewed commitment to the Glasgow Climate Pact, and making the UK the ‘world’s next Silicon Valley’.”
