OXFORD: Critchleys' trainee accountancy professionals proved once again that they are made of the right stuff by passing a series of tough exams. Anne Pritchard, Ben Dixon and Annette Lowe successfully grappled with studying in addition to their day-to-day work. All three are going on to further study.

Mr Dixon passed the final stages of his Association of Accounting Technicians exams, and is now qualified. He has already embarked on a new course. Ms Pritchard has notched up two papers in the intermediate level of her Association of Chartered Certified Accountants qualification. Ms Lowe has also passed an intermediate paper, this time for the AAT qualification, leaving her with only one more exam to take at this level. Dai David, senior partner, said: "I'm delighted to see Annette, Ben and Anne enjoying well-deserved success after all their hard work."
