THE AWARDS
Richard Lambert, director-general of the CBI...
"The financial performance of the UK’s companies is dependent on many things. The role of the country’s finance directors, in all sectors, and at all sizes of businesses, is one of the most crucial. That’s why the CBI has been a staunch supporter of the FDs’ Excellence Awards since it launched in 2005. We believe that by recognising the invaluable contribution of the UK’s finance directors we are bringing into the spotlight the unsung heroes of UK plc. The dynamism, vision and sheer hard work our FDs put into the success of businesses up and down the country is truly something worth shouting about. Please join us in celebrating the UK’s best and brightest finance chiefs.”
