A RADCLIFFE woman is among ten recruits at the Preston office of business advisers KPMG. Stacey Gilbert (21) joins the company's tax team.

Stacey attended Holy Cross Sixth Form Colllege in Bury before taking maths at Bristol University. The new intake represents an eight per cent increase on the previous 127-strong workforce at Preston.

Peter Brown, senior partner, said: "As a result of the continued recruitment of high calibre people, I believe we will continue to grow in Lancashire and Cumbria and continue to provide our clients, both large and small, with the depth and quality of service which they expect."
