In summarising the Ipes entry, the judges commented: "You can't argue with success. Their rate of growth shows they are doing a great job. They can work in very tight timeframes. Speed on AIF depository and coming up with solutions for clients on that side is very important."
Chris Merry, Ipes' Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to have won this award and would like to thank our clients and contacts for voting for us. Winning an award like this is a tributw to everyone in Ipes - it is recognition of our team's effort and achievement over a sustained period.
