You're hired! Apprentices taken on at law company

A local solicitors firm is backing the national drive to develop opportunities for apprentices by taking on a new recruit under the scheme who is hoping to develop a longterm career with the firm.

Hannah Harding, 20, from Welshpool, has joined PCB Solicitors on a full-time, 18 month contract but is already showing her eagerness by looking ahead to a long-term place with the business.

She follows in the footsteps of the firm's last apprentices, Hollie Daniels, who completed her apprenticeship and has remained with PCB as a valuable member of staff, based at the Ludlow office.

"I'm really happy that PCB Solicitors has given me this opportunity and I aim to prove myself and be able to go on and gain the necessary qualifications to eventually become a solicitor if that proves possible, preferably specialising in criminal law" she said.
