Apprentice of the Year
Four years ago, Jack left the shopfloor at Tesco to join KPMG’s apprenticeship programme. Today, he operates at manager level – and has become an influential force in shaping two of the public sector team’s most strategically important priorities.
He pioneered KPMG’s Local Government Reorganisation methodology, trusted by council chief executives to design and evaluate structural change proposals. Jack’s calm, clear approach secured cross-council support, and his methods are now used by KPMG teams nationally.
He’s also taken a leading role in driving AI adoption across the firm. He’s built AI tools that are used by 300+ colleagues, saving hundreds of hours of effort. He delivers training to senior leaders on harnessing AI effectively to solve real problems.
Jack is a leading figure in the apprentice community, using his maturity to build support structures for other apprentices. In 2023, he co-founded KPMG’s Consulting Apprentice Community. It now has 50 members, and is expanding to the wider Advisory function.
He co-designed an Apprentice Survey – drawing 200+ responses – and produced a 45-page report. After presenting the findings to senior leaders, he secured commitments to improved reporting, and is pursuing formal funding for the apprentice network.
KMPG’s Head of Lifelong Learning says Jack exudes “exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to the development of our early careers programmes”.
