The British Wills and Probate Awards 2021 Shortlist – Day 1

The British Wills and Probate Awards, sponsored by Executor Solutions, is delighted to return for the 4th edition of these prestigious awards.

Following on from the success of the 2020 virtual ceremony, we have taken the decision to deliver a “best of both worlds” ceremony in 2021; with an in-person afternoon awards ceremony which will be live streamed via The British Wills and Probate Awards website, followed by our Champagne Reception, sponsored by Exizent, and a glamourous evening dinner.

Our venue for the event is the recently refurbished Grand Hotel in Birmingham and with the fabulous Jennie Bond returning to compere, this year’s awards promises to be very special.

Looking ahead to the ceremony on 21st October Michael Edwards, Group Business Director at Headline Sponsor Executor Solutions says
“The awards are the biggest event on the calendar and after such a challenging time for all, it’s going to be fantastic to celebrate the achievements of everyone involved and to have the opportunity to see everyone face to face is the icing on the cake.”

Friday saw the release of the nominations for the Today’s Wills and Probate Industry Champion, sponsored by Arken.legal. Voting is open now for this award which will recognise the individual who has made a significant contribution to the life and times of the wills and probate industry over the last 12 months.

And throughout this week we will be releasing the details of the full shortlist so keep your eyes on Today’s Wills and Probate and The British Wills and Probate Awards website for daily updates.
