Each year Goodacre organises an Awards Ceremony in recognition of the Systems Suppliers within the Financial Services Industry.  In 2014 the Awards Ceremony took place on Thursday 3rd July at Plaisterers' Hall in London. This event took the form of an evening Champagne Reception, sponsored by Allfunds Bank, followed by dinner, the Awards presentation and evening entertainment from Ruby Wax, sponsored by JHC.

The event sponsors were: Allfunds Bank, Interactive Investor, JHC, peterevans and Platform Securities.

A prerequisite for nominees was that products and services had to reach a high standard before entries to the Awards could be accepted. 32 firms received the GoodAccreditation Standard 2014. An independent panel of judges then determined the Award winners based on their performance during the past 12 months.
