APPOINTMENTS Recruits welcomed to Grant Thornton
The East Midlands office of business and financial adviser Grant Thornton has recruited a clutch of school leavers and graduates to its 2018 Talent 18 trainee programme. The firm’s Leicester-based
regional office has recruited six trainees, made up of four school leavers and two graduates, who now begin training programmes across the firm’s audit and tax service teams, and their journey towards securing professional qualifications. School leavers Molly Clarke,
Julaka Latif, Cameron Woods and Mohammed Sabat join graduates Emily Smith and Halima Hukawala, and are part of the cohort of 300 trainees that have joined the firm’s programme across the UK this year, with 16% starting straight from school. In April, Grant Thornton was
awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the ‘Promoting Opportunity’ category in recognition of its actions to help improve social mobility in the workplace. Practice Leader of Grant
Thornton’s Leicester office, Chris Frostwick, said: “Grant Thornton is dedicated to creating a firm where

opportunity is open to all and broadening the diversity of our intake. We recognise having a more diverse pool of talent leads to
improved organisational performance, a better outcome for clients, and a more productive economy, and that creating a
futureproof, diverse workforce is not only good for business, but is an urgent and ongoing priority for the future of a vibrant economy.”

PKF Cooper Parry is looking to the future
PKF Cooper Parry has hired 13 new audit trainees and seven new interns. The next generation of accountants and business advisers arrive predominantly from schools, colleges and universities from across the Midlands. The trainees are a mixture of
school leavers, graduates and university placement students doing a sandwich year during their studies. The group will spend their time working in audit, where after a two-week induction on PKF Cooper
Parry’s unique culture and working processes, they will begin working on real projects. It will take the trainees four years
to qualify as chartered accountants, before starting careers in a stable industry, working at one of the fastest-growing, most innovative businesses in the UK. Orianne Wightman, Early Careers
Talent Co-ordinator at PKF Cooper Parry, said: “I’m really proud of 2018’s intake and can’t wait to watch their careers flourish with us.”
