BUSINESS MONEYFACTS ANNOUNCES 2010 AWARD WINNERS - 26 March 10
The winners of the 2010 Business Moneyfacts awards were announced last night at the prestigious London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.
Almost 400 industry professionals from the leading financial institutions and industry bodies gathered at a special dinner hosted by Bill Turnbull, of BBC Breakfast and Strictly Come Dancing fame. Awards were presented to those companies and brokers that have consistently offered the most competitive products, the best levels of service and shown the greatest innovation in the business and commercial finance world during the last twelve months.
Lee Tillcock, Editor of Business Moneyfacts said: A year of substantial challenges within the business sector has seen all those involved within it fight hard to secure their futures. Yet, in spite of these demanding times and the much publicised upheavals, supportive work of real quality is still being undertaken by brokers and providers within the commercial finance world. There is undoubtedly more to be done if the necessary SME growth is to provide the economy with the boost it requires. If the commitment to quality and product choice displayed by the worthy finalists and eventual winners for these awards is a reflection of the wider market then 2010 may see the economy get back on its feet.
