SANDRA Munday of Southampton-based business recovery specialist and wealth management firm Buchanans is celebrating after passing the profession's Joint Insolvency Board exams.

Sandra, who joined as a senior manager two months ago, said: "I set myself three challenges - to pass the insolvency exams, to take up badminton and own a horse. I am very pleased to say that I have achieved all three!"

Peter Whalley, managing director, said: "We were thrilled when Sandra joined us to further strengthen our practice.

"To obtain a first-time pass in this exam is a great achievement. This news is the icing on the cake."

Sandra, a certified accountant, is currently applying for her insolvency licence, and is set to take appointments in the near future.
