Lily Butel
Trainee Accountant It was the family orientated and friendly environment that I encountered during my work experience here last year! During this rotational placement I had the opportunity to gain insight into different areas, spending time with the trust admin, marketing, compliance and accountancy teams. The placement experience identified that I wanted to pursue a career in accountancy. After my A Levels I was excited to join Alex Picot Trust as a Trainee Accountant and begin my ACCA qualification. I’ve really enjoyed being welcomed back by the friendly team!
What have you enjoyed the most so far?
Sian Siouville Assistant Trust Officer
I have enjoyed learning about the industry and gaining insight into the different areas of private trust work and seeing how much I have adapted to a working environment and the new challenges. Everyone at Alex Picot Trust has made me feel so welcome, you feel valued as a person! My team have been incredible with their training and support, which has made a huge difference in building my skills and confidence in this new role. I’m excited to keep learning and to start my professional qualification in the future.
Since joining, what has been your favourite activity outside of work?
Dylan McKeirnan Assistant Trust Officer
It’s hard to pick one favourite since we’ve had many events, like our summer and Christmas parties, a darts evening and a volunteering day at the zoo! These have all helped me get to know my colleagues outside of my team that I do not work with as closely on a day-to-day basis. I’ve also enjoyed the social activities with our intermediaries, as it gives me the opportunity to build good relationships with them. I attended a Gin & Rum tasting evening which was good fun and informative! I like to get involved on the sports side too! I attended a golf competition and was part of the Alex Picot Trust Swimarathon team!
