Manon, from Saron, Ammanford, has been working two days a week in Ashmole & Co’s Ammanford office since she finished her studies in June. Initially she did two weeks work experience with the firm in her second year and made such a great impression that she was offered a trainee role once she had qualified.

Laura Craddock, Partner in Ashmole & Co’s Ammanford office said, “We are all very proud of Manon and her fantastic achievement. We look forward to welcoming her to the team full time. It is important as a profession that we help to train the next generation of accountants. Qualified staff members are the lifeblood for the future success of our firm.”

As well as gaining a first in her degree, Manon, in her final year, received the Sir Julian Hodge prize for best performance in Accounting and Finance and the Sir Julian Hodge prize for Advanced Topics in Accounting – Audit.

Manon said, “I am grateful to Ashmole and Co to give me this opportunity. I am so pleased I succeeded in achieving a first-class honours degree. I am enjoying all aspects of my work and I’m looking forward to the future with the team in Ammanford.”
