Corporate Finance associate director Jimmy Moore added: “I am delighted to have been promoted to Associate Director of Corporate Finance at Pierce.  Fourteen years ago I hung my boots up on a professional rugby career and embarked on a different career path.  I have had the privilege of working with and learning from incredible professionals.

"I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved so far and look forward with excitement in my new role, continuing to work alongside our talented and dedicated team to contribute to Pierce's continued growth and success.”

Payroll associate director Phil Johnson added: “I’m thrilled to have been made an Associate Director at Pierce. Having started as an apprentice in 2013, this milestone highlights the opportunities and support Pierce gives their trainees.
