FRAwards Winners' Party 2015

We believe we have the most transparent awards programme in the industry. You can vote for any candidate you see fit, with no panels or shortlists, meaning that the results truly represent the industry's opinion on who deserves recognition for their work.

So why are our awards so important? We asked our director Andy what winning an award means for your business.

1. Industry Recognition.

A vote from your industry peers is a real honour - embrace the opportunity to be recognised in the industry as a company who goes the extra mile.

The financial services industry has worked hard to develop good practice and trust and we should be very proud of that. Recognition of those best practices through awards provides a benchmark of product excellence and helps to promote the innovators and entrepreneurs who often don’t get the attention that they deserve.

2. Represents Quality.

I think it's fair to say that the finance industry has had a bit of a reputation in the past, so the more prominence and awareness of good practice the better.

Winning an award celebrates those who go above and beyond, which in turn encourages a better and more effective culture within the industry.

3. Positive Marketing.

Use the profile that this prestigious award adds to your business and shout about it! Use it as a new business tool - adapt it as your e-mail signature and use social media to get the message out to your clients and business partners. People like to work with award winners as it says something about the culture of the business.

4. Team Morale

Winning an award is a great testiment to the hard work of you and your staff. Use it as an opportunity to thank your team, proudly display your award, and thank them for being some of the best in the industry.

5. The Awards Party!

And what better way to celebrate than at our Awards Party? Network with other industry leaders, enjoy some of the surprises we'll have in store - just remember to look humble if you win, and leave your car at home!

You can visit our Awards mini-site and cast your votes here.

Voting closes on Friday 15th April and the winners will be announced on Tuesday 19th April.
