Tony Quirk Award Finalists 2019

12 November 2019

The Tony Quirk Award Finalists have been announced and we are excited to shine a spotlight on the Boyce team members from our five regional offices who are in the running to win the highly coveted, annual TQ Award.

The TQ Award was initiated by the Boyce directors in 2008 to reward and recognise our team members and to honour fellow director and friend, the late Tony Quirk. Tony became the youngest-ever director appointed in the firm before he tragically passed away at the age of just 34. Tony’s memory lives on at Boyce through the annual TQ Award.

Finalists from each of the Boyce offices are selected by their peers to be judged against criteria that encapsulate Tony’s contribution to the firm, including:

  • Demonstrating genuine care for clients
  • Contributing to the social fabric of Boyce
  • Acting in a professional manner
  • Living the firm’s values on a daily basis
  • Meeting the high-performance expectations of their role within Boyce.

The finalists are in the running to win a $3,000 travel voucher and one week’s additional annual leave. The winner will be determined by our panel of judges over the coming days.

Congratulations to our five finalists!
