Background
Early career
After graduating in law from Bristol University, the young Sheila Masters began her KPMG career as an articled clerk with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co based at Old Jewry in the City of London, qualifying three years later (winning several prizes en route), and becoming a partner in 1983.
- Female graduate recruits were comparatively rare then – as little as four percent of the yearly intake. She recalls being closely involved with the restructuring of Rolls-Royce after its financial collapse in the 1970s, and the strategic re-organisation of British Rail during the 1980s. Later, she started to build her links with government – and was seconded to head financial reforms in the NHS, before leading KPMG’s international government practice. In the 1990s she was made a Dame and was also appointed to the Court of the Bank of England [1]
