Hampshire accountancy firm senior, Steven Hughes.
Has put his audit work on hold for a week to fly to Albania to participate in the biggest event on the world amateur snooker calendar.
Steven 22, works at HWB chartered Accountants, and is hoping to pocket the World Snooker Federation (WSF) Championship title, which offers direct qualification to the World Snooker Tour.
However, he has been drawn in a tough group of four in the 210-player competition.
Steven join HWB four and a half years ago aged 17 straight from Barton Peveril College, Eastleigh, and has just the advanced level of the ACA exams to complete to become fully qualified.
He also has the distinction of being the youngest qualified referee for the English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards (EPSB).
Good luck Steven, we are rooting for you…
