Hugh Lloyd Ellis named PwC’s new Private Equity Leader

PwC UK has appointed Hugh Lloyd Ellis as leader of its Private Equity business.

Hugh has worked at PwC for over 15-years, including two years spent with the Hong Kong firm, supporting clients through the deals process as a Transactions Services partner, working across multiple sectors and on acquisitions and divestments ranging in size and value. As the Private Equity leader he brings a deep sector market knowledge and the best of PwC’s technical capabilities from across the UK to its clients.
