Students, mums and businesses are being encouraged to enter a competition to find a super achiever of the year.

Run by Pitman Training, which has a branches across Essex, the Super Achievers 2014 awards aim to find those who have fought against the odds to achieve over and above the norm.

The organisation hopes the entrants can inspire more of the British works force to strive for more.

Categories include Working Mum of the Year, Young Achiever, PA of the Year and Business Newcomer of the Year. Judges include Laura Schwartz, an ex-White House director of events and businesswoman Kate Hardcastle.

Bahman Jamshidnejad, manager at the firm, said: “We’ve got a fantastic panel of successful individuals supporting these awards and they are excited about finding talent across the UK. We want to discover and recognise the unrewarded hard workers that are helping to keep British businesses thriving.”

Nominations can be made until January 31, 2014 at pitmansuperachievers.com
