AGE is one figure that doesn't matter for accountants Haworths.

The firm have just taken on two new trainess with an age difference of almost 30 years.

Moira Reed, 45, and Sarah Canavan, 17, have been recruited as trainee accountants at the Accringon based firm.

Moira has previously worked in the financial field while Sarah joins the firm straight from Walshaw High School in Burnley.

"Age is no barrier here," said Haworths partner Mark Schofield. "Both have displayed just the sort of qualities we seek and that's all that matters."
