ABFA Achievers Awards 2014
The asset based finance industry celebrated the achievements of the industry’s greatest students at the ABFA Achievers Awards Dinner yesterday evening. Held at the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington in London, the evening recognised the most outstanding students that have completed one or more of the ABFA Distance Learning Programmes.
The evening began with a Welcome Reception, followed by a three-course dinner and entertainment from comedian Sean Collins. Andrew Castle, the former British Number One tennis player and GMTV anchorman, hosted the awards ceremony. In his address to the audience, vice chairman of the ABFA, Peter Ewen, commented that training was the best investment any organisation could make and also reflected on how much he had enjoyed, and benefited from, a recent business school, four week, course that he had attended.
