Professional Adviser is very pleased to reveal the individuals and firms to have made the shortlists for the inaugural New Talent Awards.

Taking place at Glaziers Hall in London on 26 September, the awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of those at the beginning of their career in the sector.

Professional Adviser is pleased to partner with Architas for the event, which is not about pitting young against old, but championing those that do the most to develop young talent in the sector and those new to the space who are already going above and beyond what is expected of them.

The first stage of the judging process consisted of Professional Adviser and Architas working rigurously through all of the entries to decide on the final shortlists. It is now up to a panel of judges, handpicked from the personal finance and investment sector, to comb through each category of shortlists before choosing the final winners. 

Architas head of UK funds Sarah Ackland, who will be helping to judge the process, said it was encouraging to see the number of entrants for the awards as well as the "exceptional talent" on display.

She continued: "We have a part to play in bringing in new, diverse talent into the profession and we hope these awards can help demonstrate it is a career choice for people from a variety of backgrounds and that there is a real talent in the industry.

"I look forward to reviewing each and every nomination as part of the thorough judging process."
