    "excerpt": "The gulf between Deloitte ‘s top executive and its average UK worker grew sharply this year, with Richard Houston earning 93 times the firm’s median employee pay. That ratio stood at 65 times just twelve months earlier, underscoring how quickly the gap has widened inside one of Britain’s largest professional services firms. Houston, who heads Deloitte’s newly formed EMEA division, took home £7.1m in the most recent financial year, up from £4.9m the prior year, a rise of nearly fifty per cent. The EMEA structure, which Houston led the creation of, now oversees Deloitte operations across more than 80 countries following a significant restructuring completed this year. On top of his base earnings increase, Houston also received a separate “one-off award” granted under a long-term incentive plan, which the firm said covered broader European performance criteria. The pay report stated that the award “had a number of strategic and financial performance metrics,” including recognition for his contributions to the firm’s wider European operations. The sharp rise in executive reward arrives against a backdrop of falling overall staff numbers, with UK average headcount dropping by 1,360 to 15,904 during the financial year ending in May. That reduction was driven in part by targeted redundancies, including a move in June to cut nearly 200 roles within Deloitte’s UK audit practice...",
