North Midlands invests in career of future accountant

A Leicester-based apprentice is celebrating starting her career at North Midlands, having recently joined the finance team to begin her career as an accountant.

Ella Hextall joined the team in September, dividing her time between the office and Loughborough College, where she will complete the theory-based aspects of the apprenticeship. Ella is now completing an 18-month apprenticeship, which will see her become a qualified accountant by the end.

Ella said: “I’m loving my time on the apprenticeship and learning from the Finance team, it’s been incredible so far. The team have been so welcoming and supportive, with someone on hand to answer any questions I may have.

“It’s been really exciting to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of how Persimmon operate as a business, as well as the specific aspects of the role.

“I’m so happy I made the decision to start an apprenticeship – and I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to join the team at Persimmon. I’m very much looking forward to progressing further and continuing my career!”

Dan Endersby, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes North Midlands, said: “At Persimmon, we’re passionate about developing future talent and equipping our apprentices with the practical skills they need to thrive in the working world, as well as ensuring they have the necessary theoretical background from our partnerships with local colleges.

“It’s a delight to work with our apprentices on a daily basis, helping to coach them throughout the early stages of their career and watch them develop their skills.”
