The judging for the National SQP Awards 2022 is now complete and after difficult deliberations, the judges are delighted to have decided upon the shortlisted finalists in each category.
Taking place on November 11, this year’s National SQP Awards gala lunch is once again being held at One Moorgate Place, home of Chartered Accountants’ Hall, a beautiful grade-II listed venue in the heart of the City of London.
The National SQP Awards recognise the very best that our industry has to offer when it comes to using the SQP qualification and interacting with customers.
John Lewis, chairman of Lewis Business Media, the organiser of the National SQP Awards, and chairman of the judging panel, said he was delighted by the quality of entries, which highlighted the effort that SQPs put into providing the relevant information.
Mr Lewis said: “It’s been hard work, but a pleasure for the judges to meet and talk about some great candidates. In some categories, there were very fine margins between the winners and those shortlisted. Indeed, many who did not make the finalist list only missed out by a whisker.
“I am delighted that Lewis Business Media and OvertheCounter are able to bring you the National SQP Awards. The event on November 11 will be a chance to celebrate the role of the UK’s SQPs, at the same time as recognising best practice.”
