Deloitte welcomes Bristol-based Stitch Communications to its Global Employer Services practice.

Stitch Communications – owned and managed by local entrepreneur Emma Dawson – is an internal communications agency, specialising in creating pay and reward communications that help employers to better engage their staff. Stitch’s team officially joined Deloitte at the beginning of this month, expanding the firm’s footprint in the South West and enabling it to harness the region’s specialist expertise and talent to benefit local, national and global clients. Stitch will help enhance Deloitte’s current offerings for HR programmes, such as reward and benefit strategies.

Martyn Gregory, practice senior partner for Deloitte in South West & Wales, commented: “The Stitch team is renowned for innovation and quality. They are a natural fit for Deloitte as we enhance our ecosystem in the South West to help our clients make an impact that matters.”

Ian Stone, head of tax services for Deloitte South West & Wales, added: “Our clients are increasingly focused on and committed to increasing their engagement with employees. Our decision to invite the Stitch Communications team to join Deloitte was about enhancing the services we can provide to clients by having industry leading communication experts who specialise in making the complicated clear. Bringing the team on board will further elevate the service we provide our clients in designing, implementing, managing and communicating HR and reward programmes.”

Emma Dawson, managing director of Stitch Communications, said: “This is an incredibly exciting moment for Stitch. We’re proud of the expertise we’ve built in creating bold and engaging communications strategies that help businesses to truly connect with their employees. Being part of such a recognised and trusted team as Deloitte’s Global Employer Services will enable us to enhance our communications offering further than ever before. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Stitch as a Deloitte business.”
