Achievement Awards

 

 

Every member of the Atkinson Vinden team is exceptional. However during our staff retreat every year, we take the time to honour those who have gone above and beyond – those who embody our values and serve as a shining light for the rest of us.

The Right People Right Advice Trophy is given to someone who in the past 12 months has demonstrated a consistent commitment to the values of our Right People Right Advice culture, including providing outstanding client service and being committed to excellence in everything which they do.

The Achievement Trophy expresses the gratitude of the partners towards someone who has achieved something quite exceptional for the benefit of the firm in the course of the past year.

The Team Player Trophy is awarded to an employee who has consistently worked with an attitude of service towards others.

The Business Development Award recognizes the initiative of a member of the AV Team to build new business relationships and explore new ways to grow the AV Practice.
