2020 Finalists
After a highly successful event in 2019, this year’s awards programme was popular again with SQPs from across the UK and the virtual judging session, held in September, saw many deliberations. The quality of entries was at an all-time high and it was great to receive more entries in every category, which is a testament to how important the awards are among SQPs. SQPs this year certainly proved that they want to be recognised at the National SQP Awards. Judges praised entries that detailed the COVID-19 measures that have been put in place in businesses across them and a theme running through some of the entries was around how SQPs are partnering with their local vets to offer a complete service to clients.
