– PA of the Year
– Business Newcomer of the Year
– Student of the Year (Nominated solely by Pitman Training Centres)
This year the awards also call for employers’, colleagues’ and friends’ input into selecting the nation’s SuperAchievers for 2016, with the role of fourth judge being given to the public.
