After celebrating five successive years of growth, leading business and financial adviser Grant Thornton UK LLP has employed six new staff at its Cardiff office.
The new starters have been recruited across the company’s areas of expertise and are a combination of experienced staff and graduate trainees.
Andy Nelson worked as a government scientist before moving into accountancy four years ago. He has arrived at the firm from another company in Bristol and has been appointed as an Executive in the firm’s advisory team.
There have also been five graduate appointments with Chloe Jones, Emma Savage and Matthew Price joining the commercial audit team, Sarah Bloomfield the corporate tax team, and Hannah Waters the public sector audit department.
Rhian Owen, Head of Audit, Grant Thornton, Wales said: “Grant Thornton places an emphasis on talent attraction and I’m pleased to welcome our latest batch of employees to the business. We believe that a strong team is at the core of everything that we do and I’m sure that our newest recruits will live up to our high standards.”
Andy Nelson said: “Grant Thornton is one of the biggest chartered accountants in the UK and is held in very high esteem in Wales. I jumped at the opportunity to join a firm with such an excellent reputation and look forward to continuing to develop within the firm.”
Sarah Bloomfield, one of the graduate recruits said: “As a recent graduate, I consider myself extremely fortunate to be starting my career with Grant Thornton. I am sure that I will learn a lot from the rest of the team and I’m excited to get to grips with my new role.”
