About Kelly Boorman

Kelly Boorman is our Head of Construction and responsible for driving the firm’s industry strategy, having worked in the construction industry for 28 years advising large privately owned, private equity-backed and large corporates.

Kelly’s career started in audit, where she quickly progressed to audit manager. She then took on secondments in corporate finance, restructuring, and tax, gaining expertise in advising businesses and stakeholders across all aspects of their business growth and supporting them through challenging times. Having transferred back into audit in her late 20’s, she became an Audit Partner in 2007, looking after large construction clients and has recently joined our consulting team to continue to drive growth in our industry consulting offering.

Kelly also works with our US team and was in the cohort for our Industry Eminence Programme in the US, collaborating on our industry approach, gaining knowledge as a data analyst and obtaining a qualification from MIT in Strategy and Innovation.

"I love that every day is different and that I get to support my clients in so many aspects of their business and personal aspirations."

In 2025, Kelly’s second and youngest child, Callum, left home. Her daughter Chloe became a mother in 2023 to Kelly’s granddaughter, Ada, and she thinks there might even be more grandchildren to follow. Although Kelly enjoys quieter weeks now that her children have moved out, she is rediscovering how to manage life with a toddler on weekends. Kelly also has two dogs, Ruby and Paddy, who keep her active. She enjoys going to the gym and is always up for an adrenaline challenge!
