Award-winning independent chartered accountancy firm Milsted Langdon continues to expand its team with the arrival of new general practice senior Emma Kirton at its Yeovil office.

Graduating with a degree in maths and management from Leicester University in 2005, Emma joined an accountancy firm in the same city, qualifying as a chartered accountant in 2008. In 2010, she decided to spend two years travelling in South East Asia, where she taught scuba diving.

Commenting on her new role, she said: “I had always planned to move to the South West, so started looking for good firms to work for. I was drawn to Milsted Langdon by its excellent reputation and the wide range of clients it deals with.”

Jon Stocker, partner at the Yeovil office, said: “At Milsted Langdon, we are always looking for talented individuals to help take the firm forward. I am delighted to welcome Emma, who brings with her a wealth of experience.”
