Great insight from our CEO, Rhys Madoc on a fantastic 2024 year of change and opportunities for UHY International in 2025!
As we approach the end of 2024, I have been reflecting on what has been an incredibly significant year for UHY International. In the summer, we held three highly successful regional meetings: 🇺🇸 Americas, Houston in May, 🇲🇦 EMEA, Marrakech in June, 🇵🇭 AsiaPac, Philippines in July. This event saw an inspirational local engagement, including a fun run attended by hundreds of delegates and members of the local community. It was a delight to see and be part of it. Our flagship event of the year was our Global Annual Conference in London 🇬🇧 when we also celebrated the 100th anniversary of one of our founding firms, UHY Hacker Young, with a party at the iconic Madame Tussauds venue. During the global conference we were proud to unveil the first major network rebrand in 20 years, including a refreshed visual identity, a new website, and new member firms’ portal. This new brand unites all our firms under one globally recognised identity, further enhancing our opportunities for cross-border referrals. During the conference, we welcomed the new UHY International Chairman, Roberto Macho. I would also like to extend my deepest thanks to Subarna Banerjee for his exceptional leadership and dedication during his term as Chairman over the last three years. His contribution to UHY’s success has been invaluable, and we are lucky to continue working with him as a member of our global Board of Directors. Roberto equally brings a wealth of invaluable experience and strategic direction to our network. I’m confident he will guide us expertly through the next exciting chapter of UHY’s development and growth. One more major highlight of 2024 that I must mention is the launch of UHY Day on 2 December. I was delighted to see how our member firms from across the globe embraced this initiative, showcasing our new brand, collaborating on community outreach projects, discussing referrals, and generally celebrating the strong sense of unity and collaboration that we share within the UHY network. It was also wonderful to see all of the #UHYDay posts on social media from so many members and firms around the world. 🟢 As I reflect on the successes of 2024, I’m filled with pride at our achievement; but I’m also keenly focused on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2025. Our professional services sector is evolving, but together we are stronger and I’m fully confident that UHY International will continue to go from strength to strength in the year ahead. See you in the New Year! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ #CEO #Leadership #GlobalNetwork #CommunityEngagement #UHYDay
