Welcome
From the Chairman
Large amounts of time and huge slabs of effort characterise
the Headlinemoney Awards and especially the programme’s
various stakeholders who have contributed so magnificently
to this much-respected annual event down the years.
First, there are the nominations (thousands of them) which
members of the financial services media make to start the
awards process rolling each year. Could Headlinemoney opt
for a simpler, box-ticking exercise? Probably. But where would
be the fun in that? Journalists are used to standing up stories.
For these awards, they’re asked to justify their nominations.
Secondly, there are the detailed submissions supplied from
those successful enough to reach the shortlists. Next, is the
huge amount of time and effort supplied by our 100+ judges
(a list of names appears later in this book).
Yes, some individuals leave their scoring a bit late, and
others participate in the judging sessions via long-distance
conference calls. The point is that all are keen to have their
say because they know these awards matter to so many in
the industry.
Talking of contributions, thanks very much as well to all of this
year’s sponsors. I hope you enjoy ‘financial services media’s
favourite night of the year’ as much as I have enjoyed chairing
the judging sessions.
