2009 Roll of Honour
Congratulations to all the winners of this year's Insolvency & Rescue Awards, which took place on Wednesday 21 October 2009 at the Tower Hotel in London. Over 400 professionals from the world of insolvency attended the event, which included 37 firms on the final shortlist.
Last year’s Sabin award went to director for The Bankruptcy Advisory Service, Gill Hankey, who has worked tirelessly to offer help and assistance to debtors in financial trouble, having established The Bankruptcy Advisory Service in 1997, and for many years was involved in running an independent advice service covering debt and bankruptcy.
Host Ed Byrne delighted the crowd with his witty humour and take on the industry, and guests partied until the early hours.
