Outstanding Contribution to Paraplanning Award
To mark Professional Paraplanner’s 10th anniversary we created an award just for this year.
There have been many paraplanners over our 10 years that have caught our eye but we wanted to recognise two who we have had continued interaction with and have contributed to the growth of paraplanning as a profession but in very different ways.
WINNER
Cathi Harrison, The Verve Group
WINNER
Dan Atkinson, Paradigm Norton Financial Planning
