PwC ranks first in Kennedy report

Leading consultancy firm Kennedy Consulting has ranked PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) number one in business advisory services and management consulting in its Global Consulting Marketplace 2008-2011 report.

PwC also placed third in the human resources consulting practice area, according to the study. The annual report reflects Kennedy's analysis of the global consulting marketplace, estimated at approximately $300 billion in 2007.

With over 25,000 advisory professionals around the world, PwC, one of the world's 'Big Five', works collaboratively with over 80 per cent of the world's Fortune 500 companies.

"At PwC, we're working together with our clients to help them safely navigate through a very difficult economic climate," said Juan Pujadas, global and US leader of PwC's advisory business.

According to the Kennedy report, PwC's size and high potential for growth make it well positioned to serve clients during current conditions such as the recession, the decline in the mergers and acquisitions market, a lack of new technology and the maturing global consulting market.

PricewaterhouseCoopers' Malta firm has 248 full-time professionals, 35 in its advisory practice. The firm has also engaged 76 students in its Career Deal work experience programme.
