Congratulations to Investors Chronicle's deputy personal finance editor Leonora Walters, who won two categories at the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) Journalist awards 2013.
Leonora was honoured as Best Consumer Journalist and Best Venture Capital Trust (VCT) Journalist. Announcing the awards, Ian Sayers, director general of the AIC, praised her "high quality and prolific journalism".
These awards are very prestigious, being voted for by marketing managers of investment companies and investment company analysts.
