Local accountancy firm grows
Stopfords Chesterfield LLP welcome another employee to their ever-growing team. The new addition is business admin apprentice, Sophie Kelley. She joins Stopfords after just finishing her final year at school!
Sophie said ‘The advantage of doing this apprenticeship is that it gives me a chance to work towards a qualification and have a job at the same time. It lets me gain skills and knowledge that I’ll need to succeed in the business industry, whilst gaining valuable experience in the workplace.
When I was told that I was successful in getting the apprenticeship at Stopford’s, I was amazed and so happy. I couldn’t wait to start! Everyone here is so lovely and have made me feel comfortable.’
Martin Swain, Partner at Stopfords says ‘Due to the increase of administration workload in the business, we needed to hire another member of staff, and I am pleased to announce that Sophie has filled that position. We chose to hire someone on an apprenticeship as I value supporting young people; and getting them into the workplace to gain the experience required to succeed in such a competitive world. Since Sophie joined the team she has exceeded expectations and has modelled how effective and positive an apprenticeship scheme can be for a business as well as the individual.’
