Northamptonshire firm of chartered accountants, Elsby and Co, has been asked to judge the ‘Young Business Person of the Year’ category at the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards.
The firm was asked to judge at the awards after it helped apprentices to develop successful accountancy careers, having implemented a strong training programme.
In recent months, several of the firm’s younger staff members have achieved exam success and promotions.
Leona Bateman, partner at Elsby and Co, said: “We’re thrilled to be sponsoring and judging the Young Business Person category because we’re passionate about helping young staff members to develop.
“A year ago, we appointed a dedicated learning and development manager who has produced robust training plans to enable our staff, including our talented apprentices, to reach their full potential. She’s also launched a fantastic programme for our work placement students which is creating a vibrant pipeline of future apprentices for us.”
She added: “We also have senior managers with huge amounts of training experience who are delivering refreshers on exam technique and are incredibly generous about sharing their knowledge and expertise with our younger team members.”
The ‘Young Business Person of the Year’ award aims to celebrate business people aged 30 or less, who have demonstrated a high degree of entrepreneurship, creativity and vision for the future.
