Chartered accountants welcomes record number of new trainees

FORRESTER Boyd, one of the region’s leading firms of chartered accountants, has welcomed a record number of new trainees.

A total of 11 have been recruited. Joining the Grimsby head office are Jack Stevens, Lola Fields, Harvey Steadman and Ethan Scott, with Ronny Capellan, Elliott Cooksey, Amy Fussey and Harvey Lidgard in Louth. Thomas Jackson and Harry Bailes take up posts in Scunthorpe, with Samuel Murphy at Beverley.

Harvey said “I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of accountancy and developing my skills whilst working alongside some great people. Forrester Boyd is local to me and has a profound reputation in the area.”

Samuel Murphy decided to apply for the training programme in Beverley as he “knew it was a large enough firm to have a bit of everything but small enough to still give individual attention”.

Thomas Jackson, who joins the Scunthorpe team chose Forrester Boyd because “they offered a great study package and are local to me. One of the Louth trainees, Elliott Cooksey is looking forward to “learning the skills of accountancy whilst applying them to different types of businesses”.

Philip George, partner said “After another turbulent year, it is great to welcome our annual trainee intake, as it really does bring a positive feeling to the firm.

“We are delighted to be able to offer eleven places on our highly regarded training programme this year.

“We strongly believe in offering exceptional training opportunities to local students so it is fantastic that we have been able to take on a record number this year.”
