Mistake of the Year Awards

Wed 7 February 2024

On the 7th of February 2024, we held the society event of the year in Edinburgh! This was the society event of the year in Edinburgh, and made even more special by it being for the inaugural “Russell’s” — the awards for the biggest mistakes of the year in the finance sector. At this event, Keeper Russell Napier reviewed the best and worst mistakes of 2023 — all nominated by our readers — and inducted one lucky winner into our Library of Mistakes Hall of Fame!
