Sky News has learnt that Mr Varley, who stepped down as the audit firm's chairman and managing partner in 2020, is to chair DWF, which is now majority-owned by the private equity firm Inflexion. One said the recruitment of Mr Varley would underline the scale of DWF's ambition, nine months after it was taken private by Inflexion.
