On completing qualifying, the newly promoted graduates commented on their success and career journey to date:
James Woodward, age 25, and a graduate of the University of Bath said, “Choosing to pursue further studies after earning my first-class Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bath was a tough decision, but following my passion has been incredibly rewarding. I am deeply grateful to Saffery for their supportive environment, which has made my journey fulfilling and enjoyable, and to what will hopefully be a long and successful career ahead.”

“Completing the ACA qualification made me realise that the greatest challenge is believing in yourself and once you do, you realise that every effort was worth it. Having lacked self-belief throughout my entire education, I can now truly say that I can do anything I set my mind to. It’s a huge achievement to be qualified, with all first-time passes, and no university debt!”
Senior-Audit, John Olejnik, age 28, a University of Nottingham graduate in English and German added,
“I’m overjoyed to have completed my training contract and really grateful for the support of the Saffery partners and wider audit team during my studies. I’m now looking forward to continuing my career at Saffery.”
Edward Holly, age 26, and a University of Southampton graduate said, “I feel incredibly relieved to have now passed all my exams and I feel really proud to have achieved my ACA qualification, it has certainly made all the late nights and busy weekends worth it in the end.”
