JUDGES

The process to decide the Headlinemoney Awards category winners is carried out by more than a hundred judges comprising senior financial journalists, editors and PRs drawn from around the UK’s money media. They are part of an extensive, two-stage judging process, kindly giving their time and expertise to review entries, and participate in a round of scoring followed by comprehensive online panel discussions, overseen by the Chair of Judges, David Worsfold.
