I fully appreciate just how hard and how much time it has taken for you to come this far. There are so many good organisations and professionals within the employee benefits industry.

You are a finalist for a very good reason and, having been a former judge for these awards, I can hand on heart say just how stringent the process is. You are all winners and I wish you all the very best of luck. At the end of the day there can only be one trophy!
