Professional services firm KPMG has appointed Michelle Quest as UK head of people.

Quest, who joined KPMG from Robson Rhodes in 1997 and became an M&A tax partner in the firm’s tax and people services practice in 2003, takes over from Rachel Campbell, who was recently appointed KPMG’s global head of people.

John Griffith-Jones, senior partner of KPMG in the UK, says: “We know that to deliver the best service to clients we need to have the best people – our people philosophy is geared to enable us to achieve this, creating an environment where talent can flourish.”
