BIFM Recognition Awards

                                                Sponsored by:

The new BIFM Recognition Awards, sponsored by BIFM Training were introduced this year,  specifically aimed at our Regions, Sector Forums and Special Interest Groups.  They were designed to recognise those who have contributed immensely to the development of the Institute around the UK. 

Winners and finalists included individuals and organisations who have helped to shape the Institute’s future and advancement by their amazing contributions.

Entries were invited in April/May and were reviewed for merit by a judging panel through a desk-top exercise (entry criteria was detailed on the entry form).  The judging panel consisted of representatives from the board, the BIFM executive and fellows committee.

The first Recognition Awards Ceremony took place on 25th June 2009 as part of our AGM and Members' Day and we are delighted to announce the winners and finalists as follows:
