The Recognition Scheme is open at all times if you would like to nominate a colleague in Finance who you feel has been displaying qualities related to one of the above themes. Please also note that nominations are welcomed from outside of Finance – if you see feedback from others, you would be welcome to send the form to them in case they would like to submit a nomination themselves!
