Professional services giants PricewaterhouseCoopers is one of the companies that saw its revenues and profits grow during the coronavirus pandemic. Based in London, its business includes risk assurance, tax advice, legal services, management consultancy, accounting and financial advice.
With many UK businesses and other organisations moving to a working from home footing, PwC's audit, deals and transformation services were in particular demand during the global health crisis. Of its 295,000 world-wide workforce, 22,000 are based in the UK.
The company recently announced it would be giving its UK staff members a 9% pay rise to address the cost-of-living crisis. That may seem huge, however, the UK's inflation rate - when measured using the Consumer Price Index - also currently stands at about 9%.
