I wonder what this person has done outside the job she was handsomely paid to do that justified this 'award'? It once again shows that this so called award system is a politicians toy they just love playing with!
Just how many IFAs have received any such award for doing their job of helping ordinary folk to eek a little more wealth out of their meagre earnings?

Quite. Can't be the hardest of jobs: add up all the firms gone bust; divide by the firms not gone bust (yet) = amount to be paid by each firm. Here's your invoice. Good day.

I worked with Ms Minghella many years ago when she was with SIB. I was a only temporary secretary working for another lawyer in her department, but she struck me as hardworking, incredibly smart, determined, kind and generous in nature. You may have a problem with the way the economy has gone, as do we all, but rest assured, this woman has earned her place in the world.
