“In my two years as Chairman of the BCI it has been a great privilege to present the Global Awards, and to celebrate the strength and depth of talent we have in the industry," said David James-Brown FBCI, Chairman of the BCI. "The entries this year were again of an extremely high calibre and all the winners can justifiably be proud of their achievement. Those who didn't win their category are still global finalists and should be rightly proud of their achievement. The awards demonstrate that we are graced with talented people striving for excellence in what they do. There is no higher accolade in Resilience than a BCI Global Award. Thank you and well done to all the 2016 finalists.”
