Tetley's far from bitter over job

It's been a good week at accountancy firm Deloitte, which has announced no fewer than six promotions in its Scottish operation.

Edinburgh-based corporate tax specialist Garry Tetley will be raising a pint after being made a partner.

A son of the famous brewing family, he has led Deloitte's entrepreneurial business tax team in Scotland and Northern Ireland since August 2008. He previously managed the tax affairs of several portfolio companies of private equity funds.

He said: "I look forward to helping entrepreneurs secure investment, expand their businesses and undertake transactions which will help to drive the economy back to growth."

Deloitte has also announced the promotion of five employees to director level in Scotland. Consultant Graham Dickson, tax adviser Heather Smallwood and auditors Ann Aspinall, Mick Campbell and David Sweeney will all take up their new roles from 1 July.

Dickson, Aspinall, and Campbell are based in the capital, with Sweeney in Glasgow and Smallwood in the firm's Aberdeen office.

Meanwhile, Constructionline has appointed Paul Hepples as business development manager for Scotland.

The government-backed service helps organisations tender for builders, and Hepples' role will be to help organisations in public and private sectors reduce the amount of time and money spent on finding local contractors.

Previously, he worked as a business development and commercial manager for Avonside Roofing, based in north-west England.

Barry Ashley, head of business development at Constructionline, said: "Paul's years of experience in the construction industry will help him to link quality contractors with potential clients through our system."

Andrew Teacher is leaving BAA, where he was head of media. As one of the country's youngest company spokesmen, at 29, Teacher fronted the snow crisis for the airport operator. Teacher, formerly head of media for the British Property Federation, is taking time out to enjoy the summer.
