We are delighted to announce that the Professional Paraplanner Awards 2025 are now open.
Our thanks to Scottish Widows who once again are our Headline Sponsor, recognising the importance of paraplanning and administration in financial planning/advice firms.
The Professional Paraplanner Awards are the only Awards dedicated to recognising and rewarding the huge array of talent that exists in the paraplanner and administrator community.
THE AWARDS
There are two ways you can take part.
Our PROVIDER AWARDS give you the opportunity to recognise those companies who most help you in your role and to provide the best outcomes for your clients.
Our eight PARAPLANNER AWARDS are designed to recognise the individuals and teams in the paraplanning and administration community who both epitomise the best in paraplanning/administration and who go the extra mile for their clients, colleagues and firms. See below for the Awards categories*.
