The deadline for this year’s National SQP Awards is Friday, July 26, so now is the time for SQPs to put pen to paper for your chance to be recognised at the industry’s leading awards programme.

The National SQP Awards is a key date in the animal health industry calendar and OvertheCounter, in conjunction with AMTRA and AHDA, is delighted to reward the best in the industry.

The awards lunch will be held on Thursday, November 7 at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London, which is adjacent to Hyde Park.

The culmination of the National SQP Awards will be the awards launch where we will announce the winners of the 14 categories. The SQP of the Year is chosen from the Companion, Equine, Farm and Veterinary Practise SQP of the Year winners.

There is a special cash prize of £500 for the winner of the SQP of the Year title – and we are delighted that we have received sponsorship from some of the best-known names in the animal health industry, which add adds extra importance to the value and prestige of these awards.

The National SQP Awards offer more than just a great day out, a fabulous lunch and the chance to win a big cash prize.

“The National SQP Awards are organised and judged properly, and can bring significant benefits to this industry,” said Simon Lewis, group managing director of Lewis Business Media, the publisher of OvertheCounter.

“The National SQP awards exist to recognise, reward and encourage excellent performance from our readers. Most award schemes do this in their respective industries, but they are particularly important in ours. The best SQPs work hard and deliver a great deal to their employers, and this is one of the few places, if not the only place, that this is recognised.”

Mr Lewis added: “From a company point of view, encouraging and rewarding good performance has to be a good thing. From the individuals’ point of view, being recognised offers great prestige and the potential to progress further.”
