Grant Thornton invests in Cardiff team

A record number of new starters have joined Grant Thornton UK LLP’s Cardiff and Bristol business, with 26 school leavers and graduate trainees now set on a path that will see them become part of its audit and tax practices.

The firm, which operates one team from two bases at Callaghan Square in Cardiff and Glass Wharf, Bristol will work with the new cohort to develop their professional skills, helping them progress as part of a caring and collaborative high-performance culture.

Jonathan Riley, practice leader for Grant Thornton in the region, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome the class of 2021-22 aboard.  As a firm, we strive to attract the best and brightest talent, young people who will shape the future of our business and deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients.

“The professional service sector makes a huge contribution to the regional economy and we all recognise the importance of developing and retaining talent.  Hopefully we have moved away from the era of brain drains – there’s no shortage of fascinating, consequential work to do here, and you can do it in a part of the world that has everything to offer as a place to work, rest and play.”
