Banbury accountancy firm Whitley Stimpson has appointed four new trainees.

Diane Li, Gary Milner, Emma Woolley and Adel Pavel join the firm with degrees and will be studying for their industry qualifications.

Partner Malcolm Higgs said: “These appointments reflect our continued expansion plans, positioning ourselves for continued profitable growth.”

The firm, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, also recently saw seven of its trainees achieve excellent exam results in their accountancy exams.
