Exceptional entries

IWFM Awards Chair of Judges, Steve Gladwin, said: "This year's roster of finalists for the IWFM Awards is exceptional.  When market conditions are tough it's easy to dismiss celebrations as trivial and overlook the chance to stand among peers and recognise all the achievements made by teams and by organisations throughout the year. It’s at occasions like our Awards and the afterglow that follows, that we recognise some of the best work happening right now in our profession."
