We’re so pleased to welcome 40 new graduates to our September intake, and the celebrations don’t stop there... At the start of November, 4 more graduates will join, bringing our 2024 Graduate Programme total to 44. 👏   Our graduates kicked off their BW adventure this week with an induction training session in Birmingham, including a remote session with Andrew Vaughan, Senior Partner. This session offered a thorough overview of BW, valuable insights into our business, and a chance for Andrew to share his wisdom with the new graduates. 💭 They’ll now be heading to their respective offices for further training. The induction is a blend of learning about BW’s diverse business areas, mastering our systems, and time to socialise and bond with each other. 👨👩👧     Andrew Vaughan, Senior Partner at BW commented: “We’re delighted to welcome our new graduates this year as they begin their careers with us. This investment in diverse and talented individuals is important for our growth, and we look forward to supporting each of them on a long and successful journey with our BW team.”   Gemma Lucia, Early Careers Advisor at BW said: “It is absolutely wonderful to welcome our 2024 cohort of graduates to BW.
