A HEREFORD accountancy firm has recently welcomed a new generation of staff.

Thorne Widgery has appointed three new junior members of staff, George Tindale, Amy Pullen and Ben Morgan, who will train with the company.

Ben and George will work towards the Association of Accounting Technicians Level 3 qualification, as part of the firm’s accounting apprenticeship scheme.

Ben previously worked in agriculture after leaving college, where he worked in credit control for McCartneys Livestock and Estate Agents.

George joins the practice directly from Hereford Sixth Form College, as he was attracted by how Thorne Widgery’s apprenticeship scheme could offer him a chance develop a career in accountancy.

Amy will be working in the practice's marketing department as an apprentice while studying digital marketing.

Stephen Smallwood, Managing Director at Thorne Widgery, said: “We are really excited to be welcoming these new apprentices to our practice. Each of them comes to us with their own unique set of skills and passions, which we hope we can put to good use in our innovative firm.

“Each of them will now undergo training alongside working day-to-day with our clients and I look forward to seeing how they get on with their examinations and professional development.”
