Professional Paraplanner is delighted to announce the Paraplanner of the Year Awards shortlists for the 2025 Awards.
Our thanks to Scottish Widows who once again are Headline Sponsor of the Awards.
Each candidate had to submit a 500 word essay on a set topic and then face a panel of judges who probed deeper in to their roles, knowledge, skills, attitudes and outlooks as paraplanners.
The winners of the awards will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at the Merchant Taylor’s Hall in London on Thursday 17 July.
Queries re taking a table at the awards should be directed to [email protected]
We are looking forward to an exciting afternoon celebrating all that’s best in paraplanning and the paraplanning community.
