The latter part of 2014 saw us recruit our ninth apprentice acountant since 2010. We also strengthened our team with the recruitment of a high achieving graduate in September which completed a crop of new talent brought into the practice. We have looked to support the government apprentice scheme and have been delighted with the progress of our students. Our first apprentice is on the cusp of ACA qualification with our latest recruit settling nicely into the rounded AAT program of studies. We hope to secure our tenth apprentice in 2015 to further enhance our position as a leading training provider for the ICAEW.
