There is rarely a closed season for awards, and those in the finance industry are no exception. Last week at Manchester Cathedral, Julie Charge (Salford) was honoured with Highly Commended in the Robert Walters FD of the year awards and in a couple of weeks’ time David Fletcher (LIPA) and Duncan Preston (LSTM) will be brushing off their dinner jackets for an event at the Liverpool Hilton. Last month at the Accountancy Age awards, the University of Exeter won Innovation & Transformation of the Year - Accountants in Industry, and Phil McNaull was presented with the CFO/FD of the year award, which added to the THELMA for Outstanding Financial Performance made it a good year for Edinburgh. Friends of BUFDG at Trinity College Dublin won Finance Team of the Year at the same ceremony. The Green Gown Awards are the next HE sector awards on 8th November in York and Emma, who was one of the judges, assures us there are some amazing achievements to be revealed. If you have been shortlisted for, or won an award, please let us know so that we can tell even more people that HE Finance is a great place to work.
