We are delighted to announce the winners of the first ever Broker Awards! The awards are based on the brokers performance and new business volume.

The categories were:

  • Top Performing Hard Asset Broker
  • Top Performing Professional Loans Broker
  • Top Active New Broker

TOP PERFORMING HARD ASSET BROKER... PARKINSON BUSINESS FINANCE

David and Marie of Parkinson Business Finance won the award for Top Performing Hard Asset Broker. 

David has been a supporting broker of Kingsley Asset Finance for over 20 years.

On receiving the award, David said: "I was delighted to win this award from Kingsley Asset Finance. 2022 was a very good year for Parkinson Business Finance and despite the economic uncertainty both in UK and abroad we found that many SMEs still had confidence and continued to invest in new assets for their businesses.

"I have known Jonathan Smith and his team for many years. They have a real commercial approach to their underwriting, can act quickly and are a key funder offering an alternative source of funding for my clients."

TOP PERFORMING PROFESSIONAL LOAN BROKER... SHIRE PROFESSIONAL FUNDING

Shire Professional Funding won the award for Top Performing Professional Loan Broker. 

Shire has seen great growth over the past year and it has been great to support so many of its customers with funding. 

Sales director Craig Reid said: “Our relationship with Kingsley has grown from strength to strength. From the first meeting with Jane running through Shire PF’s plan and ambitions, to helping Kingsley with some mutually beneficial operational improvements, then seeing this collaborative approach result in doing more business together has been great.

"Kingsley from the start has been very open and supportive as a funder, nothing is too much trouble, and the team feel like they can always pick up the phone and talk through any client requirements.

"We are fortunate to have such a strong pool of funders, and it is humbling to be externally recognised by a key funder in the professions space for our hard work and commitment to assisting our professional clients. We would like to thank Jonathan/Pete/Jane and the wider team for their support.”

TOP ACTIVE NEW BROKER... C15 SOLUTIONS LIMITED

Craig Ashton of C15 Solutions is the winner of the Top Active New Broker Award. 

Craig has been in the finance industry for many years but has only recently started to work in Asset Finance. 

Craig said: "Winning this award for C15 Solutions Ltd is something I didn’t expect, especially in my first six months as a business. I always try and do what’s right for all my clients and being recognised by one of my most trusted lenders is something I am proud of.

"I have known Kingsley for some time now and when I started my own business, they have been nothing but supportive to me and my clients. The help and understanding they bring across the board proves why they are a key lender in the market."
