The English ICA has awarded its top accolade, the 2000 Founding Societies' Centenary Award, to Lord Sharman, the Liberal peer who recently retired as chairman of KPMG International.
The award is granted to a member of the English ICA who has made an outstanding contribution in any field of endeavour.
