Accountancy and advisory firm Bishop Fleming has welcomed more than 40 new apprentices, trainees and placement students, including new recruits at its Plymouth office.
The September intake has seen new starters join teams in Plymouth, Exeter and Truro, as well as the firm’s offices in Bristol, Birmingham, Cheltenham and Worcester.
More than a third of Bishop Fleming’s workforce is now made up of apprentices and trainees, with the firm continuing to invest in people starting their careers in the sector.
Among the new recruits is Gene Price, who has joined Bishop Fleming’s Plymouth office as an associate.
Gene said: “I chose Bishop Fleming because of its reputation, its training and development opportunities, and the chance to start my career in a firm where I can continue to grow and progress.
“In my first week, everyone has been welcoming and supportive.”
Katherine Mead, Head of Talent Development at Bishop Fleming, said: “Welcoming a new cohort is always a rewarding moment for us. These are people at the very start of their careers, and we have a real opportunity to give them the experience, support and professional development to build a successful future.
“Supporting early careers talent is an important part of Bishop Fleming and we’re proud that more than a third of our workforce is now made up of apprentices and trainees.
“Seeing people who started their careers with us go on to progress through the firm shows just what those first opportunities can lead to.”
The firm’s early careers programme was ranked 17th in The Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2026, while its apprenticeship provision has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
Bishop Fleming was also recertified as a Great Place to Work for the fourth consecutive year in 2026.
