Office Manager Awards

Recognising Real Talent, Insight & Character in Corporate FM

The Front Forum Office Manager Awards recognise the professionals who keep London’s top firms running smoothly — from international law firms and investment banks to consultancies, insurance, and fintech headquarters.

These awards celebrate operational excellence, people skills, and the leadership that transforms office life from “functional” to exceptional.


🥇 Office Manager of the Year 🥇

Awarded to the member with the highest Kudos Score — recognising consistent support, insight, and leadership within the Front Forum community.

This award goes to the manager who keeps everything — and everyone — on track. The person who balances ten priorities before 9am, yet still finds time to help a peer solve a problem. A genuine standout among the UK’s corporate office management elite.


🧠 Expert Office Manager of the Year 🧠

For insightful contributions, practical knowledge, and intelligent advice shared within Front Forum.

This award honours those whose know-how makes a measurable difference — from process improvements and system ideas to guidance that helps others run their workplaces better.


😂 Wittiest Office Manager of the Year 😂

Because no one defuses chaos quite like an Office Manager with a sense of humour.

This award celebrates the comic relief, quick wit, and perspective that keep teams smiling — even when the AV system dies five minutes before a partner meeting.


How It Works

Members earn Kudos points and emoji reactions for their posts — whether sharing clever solutions, insightful advice, or the funniest moment of the week.

Each year, the most valued contributors are recognised at the Front Forum Awards, alongside winners from the Front of House and Facilities communities.
