Bevan Buckland announces latest training academy intake

Bevan Buckland, the Welsh independent accountancy firm, has announced the latest intake of graduates and school leavers to the group’s training academy.

Following the application process that commenced earlier this year, three new trainees will begin their careers as the company moves to its new Swansea HQ.

Chelcie Powell, Daniel Bevan, and Saliem Israel are set to join the programme which first launched in 2019.

Andrew Muxworthy, senior executive at Bevan Buckland, said that the scheme’s third intake is “a great indicator” of its success as a programme.

He added: “Our last intake was only in November 2020 so everyone will be learning from each other in a new environment as we transition into our new headquarters. 

“Our new site also includes a dedicated training area, providing the trainees with an environment to learn and grow.”

Vanessa Thomas-Parry, head of people operations at the company, said: “We felt a deep responsibility to support graduates and school leavers by offering them excellent employment opportunities and by working in partnership with our local colleges and universities, especially as we begin to exit the pandemic. 

“We remained committed to providing high quality training to our trainees, as well as our wider staff team, and want them to feel part of the Bevan Buckland family.”

She added that “with over 20 staff currently working towards accountancy and tax qualifications”, the group has built “a thriving trainee community”.
