Robert Taylor has joined the Bradford office of accountancy firm Horwath Clark Whitehill on a three-year training programme to become a chartered accountant.

Mr Taylor gained a first in mathematics at Leeds University and won 'the prize for outstanding performance'. His hobbies include playing American Football for Great Britain, powerlifting for Britain, hammer throwing - and competitive ballroom dancing.

Peter Meredith, a partner with Horwath Clark Whitehill, said: "We are delighted to welcome Robert as part of the team. The only worry we have is that Robert will actually have time to come to work!"
