MHA Carpenter Box has appointed 11 new trainees in the past year.

They have all joined the audit and business services teams in its Worthing and Gatwick offices.

Managing partner Alan Edwards said: “Training the next generation of accountants, tax and business advisers is a responsibility we take very seriously and we have always invested heavily in emerging talent.

“We aim to give our students the best possible start to their careers which has been underlined by our accreditation as a platinum employer.

“I wish all our new trainees every success in their accountancy careers over the coming years.”

The new trainees will undertake an in-house training programme working with a team of qualified and experienced accountants, business advisers and auditors – many of who started their careers at MHA Carpenter Box as trainees themselves.

They benefit from knowledge sharing across MHA, its national association and Baker Tilly International, its global network.
