Presidents’ Awards 2017 shortlist for Northern Society dinner announced 18 September 2017

This years finalists for the ‘Presidents Awards 2017’ for the Northern Society best performing students in the Professional and Advanced stages of the ICAEW exams 2016 have been announced.

The judges Karen Muir, President, David Arthur, immediate Past President and Lewis Pearson President of the Newcastle upon Tyne Law Society met to consider the citations for the Presidents’ Awards.

Again this year we have had a tremendous response with the judge’s finding it difficult to agree a shortlist and eventual winners, such was the quality of the students proposed.

However the judges have finally agreed and those shortlisted for the Presidents’ Awards Professional and Advanced Stage are listed below.
