TAXATION AWARDS 2015

Once again, Peter Rayney Tax Consultancy was proud to be a sponsor of the Taxation Awards 2015. Our table had a thoroughly entertaining night.  This year the awards ceremony was hosted by the feisty Mariella Frostrup who carried out the proceedings with great humour and professionalism.

The highlight of the night was Robert Broderick’s Abandoman, which created spontaneously funny freestyle rap-songs based on ‘things’  suggested by the audience.  It was all incredibly funny and probably the best act I’ve ever seen at the Taxation Awards.

We were happy to have been shortlisted for the ‘Tax Consultancy Firm’ award for the third year running but the most wonderful sight of the night was seeing Mike Truman (who recently retired as editor of Taxation magazine) pick up his much deserved lifetime achievement award to a standing ovation.

There were many choices of entertainment after the awards ceremony ended but we ventured to the Jazz Lounge to see Rachael Henshaw’s Jazz Band.  After all the hustle and bustle of the awards ceremony, this was a place of relative calmness and a great opportunity to talk to our friends in the tax world.

Sharon Webb and her team at RBI events deserve a special mention for having again done a fantastic job in making this the greatest event in the Tax calendar.

Here is our photo gallery for the night:
