The winners of the fifth European Pensions Awards 2012, organised by our sister title, were announced last night at a prestigious black tie event in London.
Over four hundred European pension professionals gathered at the esteemed Grosvenor House Hotel to celebrate excellence in the pensions space at one of the most challenging times in pensions history.
Comedian and host Miles Jupp was joined on stage by a number of high profile industry figures to honour providers across 24 different categories, including European Pensions Investment Manager of the Year, Consultancy of the Year and Innovative Firm of the Year, culminating in a presentation for the European Pensions Personality of the Year Award 2012.
Congratulations to all our winners, and many thanks to our judges and everyone who helped ensure the night was a huge success.
