Bishop Fleming welcomes 40-plus trainees

Accountancy and advisory firm Bishop Fleming has welcomed more than 40 apprentices, trainees and placement students as part of its latest early-career intake.

The new recruits have joined teams across the firm’s offices in Bristol, Birmingham, Cheltenham, Exeter, Plymouth, Truro and Worcester.

They will gain practical experience across the business while developing their skills and working towards professional qualifications.

The latest intake forms part of Bishop Fleming’s continued investment in developing its future workforce, with apprentices and trainees currently accounting for more than a third of its employees.

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 commitment to early careers has also received national recognition, with Bishop Fleming ranked 17th in The Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2026.

Its apprenticeship programme is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while the business was recertified as a Great Place to Work for the fourth consecutive year in 2026.
