“When I finished sixth form, I found the decision of my next step a difficult one, but Hazlewoods has been the perfect stepping stone for me. I have been able to learn valuable experience on the job, whilst also receiving excellent support through all my exams from Hazlewoods. In just 18 months with the firm I have developed so much, not only as a professional, but as a person as well and I have made some great friends along the way.”
