Michael Edwards, Group Business Director at Headline Sponsor Executor Solutions adds
“It only seems like yesterday we were celebrating last year’s winners, so it’s hard to believe the shortlist is already being announced! A huge congratulations from all of us at Executor Solutions on making the shortlist which given the calibre on entrants, is an achievement in itself.”
