SUMER TIME AND THE LIVING ISN’T EASY, BUT IT SEEMS FUN

Warren Mead is in a hurry. 

After 37 years rising through the ranks to reach the very top of KPMG, one of the UK’s Big Four, he says he’s now on a mission to make life better for the footsoldiers running the country’s small and medium sized businesses. 

He runs Sumer, one of a number of private equity backed consolidators radically reshaping the professional services industry in the UK, buying up accountancy practices, law firms and keeping a keen eye on technology services, but all with one thing in mind, he insists, to improve the support for small and medium sized businesses.
