Speaking of the shortlist Chief Executive of UKREiiF Keith Griffiths said: “We have been incredibly surprised by the high number of submissions for these Awards and it’s been really difficult in most cases to cut these down to the shortlist you see today. I must thank the Advisory Group for their involvement in helping us whittle down to create the shortlist – and we look forward to announcing the winners at our UKREiiF Awards Ceremony on Tuesday 17th May.”
