Congratulations to Michelle - looks like I have to settle for a runner up position again. Will have to kick some arse of the clients etc. that forgot to vote for me!
In all seriousness it is good to be nominated for these awards and pleased to be in the top 3 for the third year in a row.

If so a mentor may be the way forward - feel free to get in touch and see how I can assist you.
Finally I'd like to thank everyone who participated, nominated and voted in the awards this year. Although I say this every year, the level of participation and interest exceeded our expectations, and I'm very pleased to confirm that the BKN Bookkeeping Awards will return again next year for 2014, with some new award categories being introduced!
A huge well done to all this years winners and although some of us may be competitors we all have the same goal and try and reach that goal with passion, hard work and actually caring.
I'm sure that I wrote a reply in this thread? Bet it was on one of my other open tabs to the site that I've gone and closed.
Sorry for the late reply all,
To echo others congratulations a really big well done to everyone. Winners and runners up (i.e. me) included.
p.s. Liz, will you please sit still. Everytime the crosshair gets perfectly positioned you move!

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
You should check out answers with reference to the legal position
it takes a little time as they have to get the glass etched with your name.
Can't remember how long mine took to come through but pretty sure that it was before Christmas.

Hi Steve, thanks for the update. I managed to wangle a bit of a write up in the local paper, and they were asking why I had no award in my photo, so I wondered how long they would be. They will just have to deal with my face on its own, as the column runs next wednesday and I have had the photo done now :)

Just received mine... courier said I was lucky because my house number was not on the parcel, so they had to open it! LOL
Looks fab and has cheered me up no end!!
Nick, I saw your advert in the AAT mag with the cheesy picture!! Good going!!
I was on my own in the office (staff finished the day before) when the doorbell rang. It was the local florist with a HUGE bouquet of flowers for me from the staff!
Then the door went again and it was a DHL courier. I said that I wasn't expecting anything. He said "Maybe it's your Bookkeeper of the Year trophy!" And it was! Don't know how he knew though!
I am still keeping my eye out for mine, but we are always a bit behind the rest of the country here in North Lincolnshire. We only got channel 5 last week!
All the best for 2014.
Nick
