Paul Barber, Office Managing Partner of PNG, said: “These promotions are fully deserved and reflect the developing business environment in PNG and the increasing demand for services and the more complex and varied nature of those services.”
“There is a greater demand for advisory and consulting services as well as the more traditional compliance services and we are changing our structure to meet those demands. 3 partners deserve promotion and will help our office increase revenue as well as lead and develop dynamic teams,” added Mr Barber.
