Class of 2024: welcoming 49 new students to Kreston Reeves!

49 new trainees and students have started their Kreston Reeves journey, joining our offices across London, Kent and Sussex and the tax, audit and accounts service lines. 

This year’s student induction, held on Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 August 2024, featured presentations on topics including transitioning into working life, the Kreston Reeves training programme, and an introduction to the key service lines. Steve Moss and Shanice Beckford shared insights from their Kreston Reeves journeys, while Kimberley Foulkes and Jane Richardson led a session on client care. Trainees were also treated to an inspiring talk from motivational speaker and former Olympic coach Keith Antoine. Entertainment was enjoyed throughout the induction in the form of an escape room exercise, game show and quiz! 

From GCSE, A-Level and industrial placement students to university graduates, starters will be studying for a range of qualifications including the ICAEW Chartered Accountant qualification (ACA), Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), and Certificate in Finance and Business (CFAB).  

Our apprenticeship programme is already 137 students strong, and we are delighted to have once again made the top half of the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers List, alongside receiving the “highest score for diversity apprentices”. 

Karen Thompson, Head of Learning and Development commented: “It’s always a delight to welcome so many new, enthusiastic students to Kreston Reeves. The engagement and energy from this years’ group was truly inspiring, and I’m sure they’ll achieve great things here.” 

Susan Chadwick, HR Director said: “Our apprenticeship scheme continues to be a pillar of growth and development at our firm, enabling students to gain hands-on experience whilst earning their qualifications. We’re looking forward to supporting our new starters in beginning their career journeys in the best way possible, and demonstrating our purpose as a firm, guiding them to brighter future.”
