Ashmole & Co’s Haverfordwest office has hit a six with one of their new trainees, Charlie Bujega, from St Clears. Charlie plays cricket for Wales, as well as Glamorgan under 18s, and Ammanford Cricket Club.

Charlie studied for his GCSEs at Ysgol Dyffryn Taf in Whitland and then joined Dyfed-Powys Police’s Finance Apprenticeship in the police HQ in Carmarthen where he started studying for his AAT qualifications.

One of a number of new trainee accountants who have recently been appointed as part of the Apprenticeship Scheme, Charlie helps prepare accounts, VAT and tax returns.

During his spare time, Charlie plays various sports, particularly cricket to a high level and also football. When he plays cricket for Wales and Glamorgan he is up against various counties from all across the UK and the games can last anywhere between three hours and three days! Ashmole & Co will be the match sponsors when Charlie plays for Ammanford Cricket Club in July.

Charlie said, “I am enjoying the role of trainee accountant as I need to be able to think outside the box and be adaptive to different scenarios depending on the type of client I am working for. It is very rewarding when I help complete a set of accounts for a client.”

William Hughes, Partner with Ashmole & Co in Haverfordwest and Tenby said: “We are bowled over that Charlie has joined our team. Local talented trainees are the lifeblood for the future success of our firm.

With the majority of the Partners at Ashmole & Co having done their training with the firm they are keen to continue with the Apprenticeship Scheme again in 2026.

Successful Apprenticeship candidates are offered a fully-funded training package, basic salary and a full-time, permanent contract. For details, visit the vacancies section of the website: ashmole.co.uk
