Congratulations to Keira Tonge who recently passed her Business Administration Apprenticeship.

Keira joined AST Hampsons in November 2023 as a receptionist and has been studying the business administration qualification whilst working within her role. The course has allowed Keira to gain knowledge and skills that now form a base for her future career.

At the beginning of this year Keira moved to our Litigation department and is now enrolled at Oldham College to begin her Paralegal apprenticeship this month.

Well done, Keira! We are very proud of you and what you have achieved.
