4. Do you know an Unsung Hero?
Panacea are on the hunt for IFA Unsung Heroes.

Panacea regularly hear positive stories about the great work IFAs do. There are a number of examples of IFAs going above and beyond the expected to help their industry and their colleagues.

In order to raise awareness of all this good work, Panacea has teamed up with Professional Adviser magazine to recognise these unsung heroes.

Throughout 2012 they will be searching for IFAs, paraplanners and back office support staff that go above and beyond the call of duty in their professional life.

Every month Derek Bradley, CEO of Panacea will choose the most deserving nomination from those submitted and the winner will receive �£160 toward a meal at a Michelin Star restaurant of their choice and Professional Adviser will publish a half-page profile within their magazine, highlighting the good they have done.

If you have a colleague who you consider to be a Panacea Unsung Hero, or if you feel you deserve recognition yourself, please get in touch. We are looking for great examples of:

• Campaigning for change
• Assistance given to colleagues
• Help given to others within the industry
• Charity work undertaken outside of work
