Commenting, NACFB managing director, Norman Chambers said: “We were delighted with the overwhelmingly positive reception the refreshed awards received last year and now we’re building upon that firm foundation. From sector champions to supplier partners, the breadth of award categories recognises firms, teams and individuals.”
Once the entry window closes, the judging panel will have the difficult task of determining a shortlist in each category. Member brokers will then be invited to cast votes for the Patrons and Partners of their choice in each category. The judging panel’s scores will be combined with the Members’ votes to determine the final results.
The winners will be revealed at a gala ceremony which returns to the Westminster Park Plaza on Thursday 28th November 2024. Akin to last year, the trade body expects more than 700 lenders, brokers and partners to attend to celebrate the excellence and achievements of the commercial finance industry’s best funders. Tickets are on sale now and full details of the night’s entertainment and host will be revealed soon.
