We’re delighted to be able to announce this year’s Recognition of Excellence Awards shortlist.

The standard of entries this year has been outstanding and it was very difficult to whittle down the hundreds of entries to a shortlist of just a few truly exceptional support staff.

Our panel of judges are now carefully reading each shortlisted entry to decide who are this year’s finalists. Should you be successful, we will contact you with an invitation to our celebratory lunch on 24 June at the Landmark Hotel in London.

Thank you to everybody who entered the awards and good luck!
