A west Suffolk-based accounting firm has welcomed two new team members.

FWD Accounts, based in Bury St Edmunds, has appointed Harry Bennett and Natalie Walpole to its growing team.

Harry Bennett, 18, has joined as an apprentice, eager to dive into the world of tax.

He said: “I am really enjoying helping new colleagues and supporting clients with a variety of tasks.

“It feels like a good career choice for me with lots of opportunity.

“From what I hear, this is different to other apprenticeship schemes – I’ve been involved in interesting work from day one and am loving it so far.”

Natalie Walpole has joined as the central office administrator.

She said: “The team here has been very welcoming and helpful.

“I previously worked for a council in customer services and have enjoyed dealing with people from across Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.

“I’m really enjoying it, although accounts and tax are new to me, it’s been great to fit right in with the people here, in a good role to progress in.”
