CHLOE STURDY NAMED YOUNG ACCOUNTANT OF THE YEAR

A Perfect Day of Golf and Networking at Sharp Consultancy's Annual Event Sickleholme!

Another delightful day out at Sickleholme Golf Club for Sharp Consultancy’s latest Invitational Golf event!After a little scepticism late Thursday night concerning the weather, the early sunshine on Friday was a sign of things to come, an absolute belter of a day ensued with glorious weather throughout and some fairly ‘bright’ golf too! Guests started the day with breakfast and refreshments, before sampling the spectacular views of Sickleholme's 13th whilst trying to secure one of the three prizes on offer! Those being, Nearest the pin, Longest drive and of course OVERALL WINNER. Jonathan Ward deservedly scooped the Nearest the pin award with a tee shot within 7ft of the 13th hole and Ian Robinson justified the low handicap with a beautiful drive on the 17th hole to secure the Longest Drive award – well done to you both! The OVERALL WINNER was a much more competitive affair, and it was left right until the final group had finished to declare an overall winner, with a final score of 35 points James Rutter claimed the glory and won the main prize – congratulations James! As always, a massive thank you to all of the team at Sickleholme who allowed us to host and facilitate yet another great day which we rounded off with some much-needed beers and of course the famous Sickleholme Chicken burger!!

Chloe Sturdy from RSM has been awarded the prestigious Sharp Consultancy Young Accountant of the Year accolade for 2023. The award was presented to Chloe at a glittering awards ceremony held at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.

The competition was established in 2000 and is run by the financial recruitment specialists in conjunction with the West Yorkshire Society of Chartered Accountants. The awards recognise the best of the region’s accountants who are either training to be qualified or have been qualified for up to two years.

Candidates for the title are nominated by their employers and, having been shortlisted along with six other finalists, Chloe impressed the judging panel and excelled in each of the assessment areas which included commitment to their chosen career and demonstrating the qualities needed to succeed in the future.

This year’s competition also saw the introduction of two new categories; Elliott Duke from EY was named winner of the MVP (Most Valuable Person) Award and Lydia Colgan from KPMG picked up the prize for Emerging Leader.

Lee Sweeney, Executive Director at Sharp Consultancy added: “Every year the standard of entries continues to impress and this year, due to the wealth of talent within the region we felt that the introduction of two new categories would help to reflect the strength and depth of the finance and accountancy industry within West Yorkshire. As overall Young Accountant of the Year, Chloe joins an impressive line of winners stretching back over more than 20 years, and Elliott and Lydia were worthy inaugural recipients of these two new accolades.”

The other finalists were Sarah Pugh (Azets), Luke McMillian (Deloitte), Emily Adlard (Clearwater International) and Emma Howell (PwC).
