Meet our new starters and discover what inspired them to start their careers at Rickard Luckin:

	Callie Wood - "I moved to Spain when I was three years old, but decided to return to the UK at the age of 16 to do my A Levels. I have chosen to do accountancy because I have always had a passion for mathematics and problem solving."
	George Ashton - "I have just finished my A Level studies where I studied Maths, Further Maths, PE and Biology. I’ve always enjoyed working with numbers and problem solving which initiated my interest in a career in Tax. My work experience at London Clearing House also gave me a good insight into the finance industry, confirming that this is a career I’d like to pursue."
	Ismael Ibrahim - "I’ve always enjoyed working with numbers and understanding how businesses operate, which naturally led me towards a career in accounting. I’m particularly excited by the opportunity to gain practical experience while working towards the ACA qualification, allowing me to develop both my technical and professional skills. I’m looking forward to doing this at a supportive and highly respected firm like Rickard Luckin, where I can learn from experienced professionals and build a strong foundation for my career."
	Jack Whiting - "I recently graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in Business, Economics and Finance, and I'm excited to be starting my career in accountancy as an ACA graduate trainee. I've always enjoyed working with numbers, solving problems and analysing data, so accounting felt like a natural career choice."
	Jack Wilson - "I'm delighted to have started my accountancy apprenticeship in September, combining academic study with hands-on experience in the profession."
	Joe Milton - "I’m excited to have started my accounting apprenticeship at Rickard Luckin. I chose accounting because I enjoy working with numbers, solving problems, and analysing financial information. I recently completed my A Levels in Mathematics, Business, and Economics, which has given me a strong foundation for this career. I completed work experience at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which gave me a strong insight into day to day operations within the workplace. I’m looking forward to learning from the team at Rickard Luckin and developing my skills as I begin my career in accountancy."
	Suraya Achha - "I am excited to have joined the team as an accounting trainee apprentice. I have decided to pursue a career in accounting because I enjoy problem solving, working with numbers and hope to develop skills acquired in this role that will help me to accomplish a long-term career in accounting.
