SENIOR finance professionals in Kirklees have been urged to highlight key members of their team by putting them forward for the 2013 Yorkshire Rising Star Awards.
The awards set out to recognise and celebrate Yorkshire’s finance directors of tomorrow – high-calibre accountants, both fully and part qualified, who have made a significant contribution to the running of the finance function within their organisation.
The awards are run by Grant Thornton, Cobbetts, RBS and Sharp Consultancy. The closing date for entries in March 31.
Categories include companies with turnover under £25m, over £25m and over £150m.
There is a plc award and a category for public sector organisations as well as the coveted Overall Rising Star award.
Previous years’ winners include finance stars from leading organisations across the region, including Asda, Bettys & Taylors, Jet2.com, Sheffield Hallam University, Leeds Metropolitan University and Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.
The rigorous judging procedure for the awards will include an interview with a panel of judges from the award backers.
The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala dinner on Thursday, May 9, at Oulton Hall Hotel, in Leeds.
