The 2023 Awards for Achievement Shortlist
news published date 14 September 2023We are delighted to announce the shortlist for the 25th Annual Awards for Achievement. Huge congratulations to everyone!
As in previous years, seeing your name or that of your company’s initiative is important and an achievement in itself. It follows a process that saw all of the entries scored based on the completeness of the information provided and an assessment of the impact the individual or initiative has had on their company as a whole or on the broader financial services industry. Award-specific criteria were also considered. And with only a limited number of entries that could be put forward, the judging panel regretted having to make some tough choices.
As we start the countdown to the 10 October for the digital awards ceremony from 12.30pm to 2.00pm – an event that is followed by in-person events on the 10 October in Edinburgh and 12 October in London – we’re really looking forward to sharing summaries of each of submissions for all of our 2023 shortlisted award nominees so you can see why their name made the list.
