How are organisations shortlisted? Adviser voting We invite our adviser contacts to vote for their top product providers, relating to service levels and overall product offering. The voting will open on Monday 14 March and will close on Friday 20 May 2011. Providers will be given buttons to encourage their own advisers to vote closer to the time. Moneyfacts data The remainder of the categories are decided using data that our researchers painstakingly gather across the industry throughout the year.
How do I find out about the finalists? Email ajoyce@moneyfacts.co.uk to register your interest – we will then send you an email as soon as the shortlists are released.
“The guests and staff enjoyed the event and the Sippcentre sponsorship and room looked fabulous! Well done!” Kirsty Zollinger A J Bell
Why should we book tables? We hope that all providers have the confidence in their products to think that they can win – and who wouldn’t want to be there to pick up an award? Not only that, many organisations take the opportunity to invite key contacts, using the event as a networking and hospitality opportunity, or invite staff to the event as a reward (often booking two or more tables in the process). The high numbers of organisations that we see at the event year on year is a testament to the value they place on the awards and the quality of the event itself.
How do we book tables and how much does it cost? Email ajoyce@moneyfacts.co.uk to request the booking link. The packages available are as follows: • Standard tables of 10 - £1,795 plus VAT • Premium tables of 10 - £3,095 plus VAT – including VIP drinks reception, priority seating, premium table drinks and dedicated table hostesses to look after your guests. There will also be a finalist only package available, details of which will be communicated directly to the relevant organisations once the shortlists have been announced in summer 2011.
If we should win – how can we take advantage of our success? Moneyfacts have many tools to help you capitalise on your success, including for those who succeed in reaching the commended and highly commended levels within each category, as well as the winners. More details about the winners packages will be provided to winners soon after the ceremony, but we are happy to discuss options in advance if you wish to be prepared for success!
“I thoroughly enjoyed Friday, it was an excellent event, and winning the award was a very welcome surprise.” Simon Patterson, Dickinson Dees
