The fourth annual St Nick Awards, organised by buyout and turnaround fund Endless, has a series of new award categories this year including Turnaround of the Year, featuring the deals for Abbeycrest, DavyMarkham, Discover Leisure and Heywood Williams.
The black tie awards, being held at the Aspire venue in Leeds on Monday, December 14, will also see the categories including Turnaround Woman of the Year – nominees include Laura Crawford of Hammonds, Sadie Alton of KPMG, Rachel Blake of Walker Morris, Judith Kinnersley of Barclays, Judith McMath of Burdale and Josie Richardson of KPMG – Recruitment Agency of the Year – nominees include Hitchenor Wakeford, Interim Partners and Sewell Moorhouse.
