Fifteen new members of staff have been appointed to work across the business of leading South West chartered accountants and business advisers, Westcotts.
The cohort of new recruits, spread throughout six Westcotts offices across the region, are a mix of roles from trainees up to managers.
The firm places significant importance on career progression for employees, offering training opportunities and career pathways where people can join as an apprentice, find support for their studies and work their way up the firm. 
A spokesperson for the company said the latest new members of the Westcotts family mark a continuation of the growth journey the firm had been on this year and would enable the company to deliver on the growing demand for its services.
The Plymouth office is joined by two AAT trainees, Harriet Knott and Abbie Smith, two ACA trainees, Emily Hill and Taylor Bracher alongside Tax Manager Helen Cross.
The Axminster team will be joined by AAT trainee Ellen Bugler, Manager Caroline Young and Bookkeeper Jessica White.
The Bridgwater office will see AAT trainees Ellen Ashford and Dexter Nichol join their ranks.
Exeter colleagues will be joined by ACCA trainee Abida Islam and credit controller Mark Warren. Just down the road, the Honiton office will see Lisa Court join their ranks as an Accounts Assistant.
Finally, the Weston office will be joined by Swathi Ramesh as an ACCA Trainee and Jenny Kilburn as a Financial Management Administrator.
