PAUL Boddie and Jon Nash of business advisers Grant Thornton are celebrating passing their accountancy exams - continuing a run of successes for the Solent office.

They sat papers for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICEAW) exams. Both are now fully qualified chartered accountants.

Norman Armstrong, entrepreneurial business services manager at Grant Thornton, said: "This is great news. The exams are not easy and studying requires a lot of application and discipline especially after a busy day at work"
