The PQ magazine 22nd awards night went off with a bang, rapturous applause, and the sounds of trumpets!
The audience were entertained by Mariachi Las Adelitas, and the much-loved ‘singing accountant’ Jean-Paul Noel-Cephise, and 23 PQs were handed out!
The big winner on the night was Grace Hardy, who won both Personality of the Year and Podcast of the Year.
Accountancy Body of the Year went to ICAS, The Net Zero Accountancy Initiative walked off with Innovation of the Year
Online College was awarded to Premier Training, and Chesterfield College’s Faye Hill won the Public Sector Lecturer of the Year, to add to her AAT Training Provider award which she won earlier this year.
For the first time PQ magazine also created the PQ Hall of Fame, and the first person to be inducted was HTFT’s Clare Finch. June and Garry Carter who founded the ICB, were also jointly awarded the Editor’s Special Award on the night.
Sunny Yang became the PQ of the Year, and Katy Hickey the Distance Learning Student of the Year.
