More than 50 guests from across the industry, including brokers and funders, were present at the event, supported by funder partners Alphabet, Arval, Hitachi and Lex Autolease. The judging panel for the awards was made up of department heads, managers and directors from industry lenders and related institutions.
Master of ceremonies Ralph Morton, editor of Business Car Manager, paid tribute to the broker industry saying: "Leasing brokers continue to offer impressive market growth, helping fuel the popularity of PCH, driving forward commercial vehicle sales, while providing consultative services under FCA guidance. The performance of leasing brokers in H1 this year has been just as impressive as it was last year. We are a broad church and we welcome all types of leasing broker; I want to make it clear, this Federation embraces everyone, from the smallest brokers to the largest volume operators."
