The prestigious Daily Telegraph Wealth Management Awards ceremony took place on 18th November 2008 at Kensington Palace. A
Champagne Reception in the Queen’s Gallery was followed by dinner and the Awards ceremony in The Orangery. Clay Harris
presented the awards, which included his own Mudlark Award, for Exceptional Performance in the Back Office, to the winning
companies and individuals.
The purpose of these awards was to recognise and promote quality of service from Wealth Managers and Stockbrokers. These awards
were determined by investors themselves via the Stockbroking Guide Site.
All voters of The Daily Telegraph Wealth Management Awards were eligible for a £1,000 prize to be invested with a firm of the winners
choice. This was won by Ian Webb who chose to invest the prize with St James’s Place.
