The winners of this year's European Pensions Awards, now in its fourth year, were announced last night at a prestigious gala dinner at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane.
Hosted by comedian Alun Cochrane, the event saw twenty three firms from across the continent rewarded for their excellence, innovation and commitment to providing services to pension schemes operating in the European space, with the final award being presented to the European Pensions Personality of the Year.
The European Pensions judging panel is truly independent and is made up of individuals from across the pensions sphere to include providers, pension funds, consultants and representatives from various pensions and investment associations. All judges involved follow a rigorous and transparent process, followed by lengthy interactive discussions, in order to decide the winners.
Congratulations to all of you who went home with trophies last night, and many thanks to everyone who took the time to enter, or took part in the event in any way.
To view the winners, please visit the European Pensions Awards 2011 website.
