Five Norwich students from chartered accountants and business advisors, Larking Gowen, are celebrating after passing their exams.
Stephanie Newton and Josh Perrott passed their ACA accountancy exams and Terry Want, Thomas Norman and Kim Conway all achieved ACCA status.
To mark their achievements Larking Gowen managing partner, Bob Rose, invited them, and the other successful students from the firm's offices, to enjoy lunch with him and his colleagues.
Bob said: 'It was great to see all the students and personally congratulate them on their achievements. I was delighted to hear they all passed their exams at the first attempt, which is not an easy task, and shows their commitment to their personal career development.
'Terry, Thomas and Kim joined us at the same time and passed at the first attempt each set of exams together, from AAT, through to ACCA, supporting each other through the four-and-a-half years study period and forming friendships at the same time.
'Staff training and career progression are important values at Larking Gowen, and I look forward to seeing all the students develop with us, and take on more responsibility.'
The students were also joined by Larking Gowen partners, Mark Curtis and Mark Balfour, and human resources executive, Julie Best.
