Yesterday, a few of our Paraplanning team went down to London to attend the Professional Paraplanner 2024 Award ceremony!
We were lucky enough to have two nominations this year – Alasdair Wilson, our Investment Specialist, was nominated for Investment Paraplanner of the Year and our entire team was nominated for Paraplanning Team of the Year. We are so proud of our entire team for their hard work over the past year especially, and the fact it was noticed externally cements that.
Alasdair was lucky enough to take home his award due to his involvement in our investment process and how it’s made for better financial plans and outcomes for our clients. Alasdair is truly a significant part of Verve, after coming on board as part of our Grad Scheme back in 2018 he has progressed into a role that has truly allowed him to thrive. Congratulations Ali, we’re so proud of you and so happy that your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed externally.
Unfortunately, we didn’t take home the team award this year but we are still so happy to have been up and among those shortlisted, what a fantastic group of companies – congratulations to them all.
However, you may be thinking why the ‘double whammy’? Well, Cathi was also given a surprise award at the event – Oustanding Contribution to Paraplanning. This award was given due to her dedicating 15 years of pushing paraplanning to new heights and continuously working hard to push boundaries within the industry. Congratulations Cathi!
We are so excited to see what the rest of the year holds. We’ve also been nominated for awards with Money Marketing, WIFA and WRA, as well as having our own Verve Awards to host at Evolution. So, here’s to more award mania!
