Hilary Ncube, KPMPG

Apprentice of the Year

MCA Awards 2024 FinalistNow in her second year of KPMG’s management consultancy apprenticeship, Hilary Ncube has made a remarkable start. Her appetite for growth has earned her glowing feedback, an internal award in her first year, and opportunities beyond her level of experience.

She also co-authored a thought leadership blog on the topic, demonstrating her initiative and detailed subject matter understanding.

Her adaptability has enabled her to work across Government, Healthcare, Higher Education, and Financial Services, leading client meetings and travelling independently to project sites.

Hilary has been a panellist at multiple events, including KPMG’s live Broadcast Studio, sharing insights on living the firm’s values. She was also selected to discuss her apprenticeship story with a Member of Parliament on a visit to the firm.

Beyond client work, Hilary is committed to Diversity and Inclusion. She actively facilitates events within KPMG’s Consulting Apprentice Community, delivering various presentations to promote learning. As a member of the Black Apprentice Network, she has spoken at a 100-person panel event and engages with external networks.

The first in her family to pursue a career in professional services, Hilary is a standout apprentice with a bright future ahead.
