Finalists announced for 2022 Scottish Financial Services Awards
We are pleased to announce the shortlist for the finals of this year’s Scottish Financial Services Awards.
The annual Scottish Financial Services Awards, organised by Scottish Financial Enterprise and sponsored by EY, is an industry-wide awards ceremony that recognises the contributions that both firms and their people have made to the sector and to wider society.
Nominees for the awards span the breadth of Scotland’s financial and related professional services industry, which over the past year has been helping the economy withstand the major shock of covid-19, making ground-breaking net zero commitments at COP26 in Glasgow, and now supporting customers, colleagues and communities through the cost-of-living crisis.
A record 73 nominations have been submitted for this year’s ceremony, which is sponsored by EY, and taking place on 27 October, at the Doubletree by Hilton, Glasgow Central.
Sandy Begbie CBE, Chief Executive, Scottish Financial Enterprise, said: “The number and quality of entries for this year’s awards has been outstanding, and reflects the huge progress of the industry over the past 12 months. The launch of SFE’s strategy last year has underpinned a growing industry-wide focus on the shared priorities that are helping us become a stronger, fairer and more inclusive industry, at the forefront of the sustainable economic recovery - priorities that have only become more important as we face down an accelerating cost-of-living crisis – and these themes are front and centre at this year’s awards.”
