?? **Reflecting on a Fantastic Forvis Mazars Welcome Event at the University of Warwick** ??
I recently had the pleasure of attending a three-day welcome event hosted by Forvis Mazars in the UK in the UK at the University of Warwick, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Here are FIVE key takeaways that made this event so impressive:
1. Warm Welcome: From the moment we arrived, Forvis Mazars made everyone feel incredibly welcomed. Their team provided detailed guidance on everything from living arrangements to food allocation, always with a smile and genuine patience.
2. Well-Structured Schedule: The event was meticulously organized, featuring a diverse range of activities and introductions. We learned about the firm's structure, Forvis Mazars Culture & Careers , service lines, early careers development, well-being and resilience, ICAEW qualification, inclusion and diversity, sustainability, and IT. A lanyard with a detailed schedule ensured we were always informed and prepared.
3. Building Connections: One of the standout aspects was the opportunity to connect with colleagues across different UK offices and roles. We heard inspiring stories from partners and senior team members and engaged with a diverse group of attendees, including school leavers, graduates, and those on placement. The event also provided time to build our team dynamic and collaboration.
4. Deeper Reflection: The event prompted me to reflect on Forvis Mazars' core value of "Doing the right thing." I realized how closely this aligns with my role as an auditor—ensuring true and fair financial statements through ethical practices and adherence to the code of ethics (COPIC).
5. Clarified Goals: I left the event with a clearer vision for my career. Hearing from partners provided a role model and reaffirmed my aspirations. I've set a defined career pathway and am committed to making meaningful contributions to the firm and impacting others positively.
A huge thank you to the colleagues who worked tirelessly to organize this event and to all the new joiners who actively participated. It was an amazing welcome week, and I’m excited to embark on this journey with Forvis Mazars in the UK and explore all that lies ahead! ??

And off they go ??
Over 350 newcomers to our firm arrived in Coventry to mark the start of an exciting journey in their professional careers. They experienced the opportunity to network with their new peers and learn all there is to know about us and our people.
The three-day conference had speakers from our senior team, ice-breakers, and workshops to set up all our new joiners with the knowledge they need to hit the ground running. Here's a small taste of what they got up to:
?? An insight into professional qualifications
?? Wellbeing and resilience practices
?? Learning about our sustainability ethos
?? Understand our inclusion and diversity culture
We also had a special guest, David Hyner, a high-impact motivational speaker who boasts an impressive collection of life achievements (and an even more impressive set of jokes). His talk filled the room with motivation, courage and positivity to push the boundary of what can be achieved in small doses over a lifetime, ultimately leading to rewarding achievements.
We would like to thank everyone involved and those who attended for making the event such a success ??
