Summer has brought a bundle of exam successes to the Brighton office of accountancy firm Mazars Neville Russell.

Trainee Rachel Lyddon, 24, a Sussex University mathematics graduate, sailed through six papers in the ACA professional stage examination of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, while fellow trainee Shaun Furlong, 26, a former BHASVIC student and a Sussex University chemistry graduate, passed four papers in the same exam.

Jeremy Maine, 27, who attended Boundstone Community College in Lancing, and is already a qualified chartered accountant, achieved the Chartered Institute of Taxation's ATII qualification to become a chartered tax adviser.

Senior partner Richard Hopkins said: "These examination results reflect how hard Rachel, Shaun and Jeremy have worked and all in the Brighton office applaud their achievement."
