"It’s certainly been a team effort! Firstly, I must thank my wife who had taken on a lion’s share of looking after our 3 children, while I rise at 4am and spend countless hours studying, week after week.

Furthermore, I’ve been blessed with solid support from Christine Whitehall, David Gatehouse and Bespoke Training Solutions, all under the wise patronage of Reflect Financial. Thank you all! I could not have done it without you!"

In normal circumstances the awards would be presented in person, but due to the current lockdown we have approached the individuals direct and a cash award has been given for each prize.

We would like to say a huge congratulations to the winners, and well done to all of our members who have passed exams, completed coursework and achieved professional qualifications in what has been a turbulent and challenging past 12 months.

A big thank you to our sponsors, Sedgwick, Griffiths & Armour and Medicash. Also another thank you to Griffiths & Armour for sponsoring the Kenneth Griffiths award.

Finally, good luck to all those who continue to study and are working towards qualifications in 2021!
