Wells McFarlane, a leading firm of East Midlands Chartered
Surveyors, has added to its dynamic team with the appointment of
former Lutterworth student Abigail Wood, who by taking on the role
of Accounts Assistant with the firm, has taken the first step on
the ladder towards her dream career of becoming a chartered
accountant.
Abigail who is from Lutterworth, was educated at Thomas Estley
Community College in Broughton Astley and then Lutterworth College
to Sixth Form, has always wanted to be an accountant and is
currently studying for her AAT Level 3 Diploma in
Accounting.
"I was thrilled to be offered the position with Wells
McFarlane," said Abigail, "It is a brilliant opportunity to
progress my career, and to be able to do that in my home town when
jobs for young people are so scarce is fantastic."
Wells McFarlane director, Andrew McFarlane Holt commented: "When
we relocated to the town we made a conscious decision, where
possible, to employ and train local people. As a relatively young
and growing company, we feel this philosophy is an essential part
of our corporate social responsibility," he continued. "Abigail
clearly demonstrated that she is a committed and competent young
person and also a hard worker having worked part-time at both
Waitrose in the town and Lutterworth Golf Club whilst completing
her studies."
Abigail lives in Lutterworth with her family and when she is not
'number crunching' she enjoys hitting the high notes as a singer.
