Ashmole & Co celebrate successful completion of Apprenticeship

Ashmole & Co are delighted to announce that Rhys Ibbiston, in the Ammanford office, has completed his studies and passed all his AAT exams to complete his apprenticeship.

Rhys, from Capel Hendre, joined Ashmole & Co as a Trainee Accountant in 2021. Previously he had attended Ysgol Dyffryn Aman until year 11 when he chose to leave school and start an AAT level 2 course in Accounting.

During his apprenticeship, day to day, Rhys helped the team to complete VAT returns, takes phone calls from clients and helps them with their queries. He will now use his AAT qualification to start a degree course next month which he has decided to study full time at university.

Laura Craddock, Partner in Ashmole & Co’s Ammanford office said, “We are proud of Rhys’ achievements. It’s been a pleasure to watch him achieve his qualifications whilst with us. We would all like to wish Rhys well with his future degree course now that he has completed his apprenticeship with us.”

Rhys said, “I am grateful to have been given this opportunity to gain qualifications, whilst having the practical experience to match. Initially it was difficult to take in so much information while learning basic tasks, but over time it has definitely become less challenging. Seeing the improvement in myself and being able to complete tasks to a high standard are the most rewarding part of the job.”

The rapidly expanding and modern firm often has job opportunities for enthusiastic individuals both qualified and non-qualified within the organisation.
