Recent convert to running, Molly Williams, an Accounts Assistant with Ashmole & Co, will be taking on Cardiff Half Marathon next month to help raise funds for the south Wales accountancy firm’s charity of the year - Tenovus Cancer Care.
Molly is fairly new to running but has started to enjoy pounding the pavements, early in the morning, before she heads to work at the firm’s Abergavenny office. Her first half marathon was last year’s Cardiff Half and she hopes to complete the gruelling 13 mile course in a faster time on Sunday, 6 October.
With Ashmole & Co Molly prepares VAT returns, Tax return information, as well as general office duties such as answering calls and assisting clients who visit the office. She loves being organised and making sure everything is in order for clients. A lot of her time is spent using various accounting programmes such as Sage.
Mark Gould, Partner in Ashmole and Co’s Abergavenny, Haverfordwest, Carmarthen and Ammanford offices, said, “It’s great that Molly is using her new love of running to help us raise funds for Tenovus Cancer Care. We are very proud of all the staff doing what they can to help raise funds for our charity of the year. We hope our clients and friends will help us raise as much money as possible for this extremely worthy cause.”
Molly has worked with Ashmole & Co since completing her GCSEs in 2012. She worked for the accountancy firm during her holidays while studying for her A Levels and then her Degree. Molly gained a Business Management Degree from Swansea University, then went on to do a Masters degree in Accounting at the University of South Wales in Pontypridd while working part time with Ashmole & Co. She is currently working full time for Ashmole & Co and studying for her final ACCA exams with the University of South Wales in Newport.
Elin Murphy, Tenovus Cancer Care’s Regional Fundraising Manager for south west Wales, said, “Ashmole & Co are going all out to raise funds with staff signing up to do so many events out of their comfort zone. We are very grateful to Molly for choosing to help raise funds for Tenovus Cancer Care by taking part in the Cardiff Half Marathon. Donations mean that we can continue to support cancer patients and their loved ones with our services and actively campaign to improve outcomes and give a voice to all affected by cancer in Wales.”
