Geoff Rhodes, managing director of HWB, said: “I’m delighted to announce the appointment of Matt Cooper as a business adviser.

“Matt has worked extremely hard and shown real commitment and expertise since joining the firm four years ago, and his promotion is thoroughly deserved.

“We have a long-standing pedigree in graduate training for the ACA qualification at HWB, and the foundation of this is our strong belief in nuturing talent and rewarding hard work.”
