A Night of Recognition at Evolution London
On Thursday evening, the UK’s most distinguished names in business and commercial finance came together for the highly anticipated Business Moneyfacts Awards 2025. Set against the elegant backdrop of Evolution London in Battersea Park, over 700 industry professionals, including lenders, brokerages, and finance experts, gathered to celebrate a year of excellence, innovation, and impact.
This annual ceremony, organised by Moneyfacts, has become a cornerstone in the financial industry calendar, recognising firms that consistently go above and beyond for their customers. The night was hosted by the charismatic Vernon Kay, whose presence brought energy and humour to an evening filled with pride and professionalism.
Celebrating Industry Excellence and Recognition
The awards spanned a wide range of categories, from asset finance and commercial lending to invoice finance and challenger banks. Each award was based on rigorous assessment criteria, combining product monitoring, customer feedback, and broker insights to identify those delivering exceptional value and service.
Among the key honours:
- Bluestone Leasing – Winner in Asset Finance
- Chatsbrook – Highly Commended
- MacManus Asset Finance – Commended
For MacManus Asset Finance, this was a return to the spotlight after their award-winning performance in 2024, once again being named among the UK’s top 10 asset finance brokers.
Quote from Business Moneyfacts:
“Each year the industry comes together to celebrate the very best brands in the business finance and commercial finance sectors. Rigorous product monitoring covering over 40 categories is carried out throughout the preceding year, and the broker and business communities are also consulted for their feedback.”
This level of scrutiny ensures the awards maintain their status as a mark of excellence and credibility across the financial services sector.
A Stronger Showing in a More Competitive Landscape
Following their 2024 success, MacManus Asset Finance returned to the awards in 2025 with momentum and growing customer backing. Despite increased competition and a broader pool of nominees, MacManus stood out once again, earning a Commended honour in the Asset Finance category.
“There are hundreds of asset finance brokers operating in the UK and following our winning the 2024 award, we were delighted to be shortlisted as a top 10 finalist once again.”
This achievement is particularly meaningful considering the surge in industry competition and the ever-evolving economic landscape. The team attributes this recognition to their ongoing commitment to service, integrity, and the deep relationships built with clients nationwide.
“The competition was more intense than last year,” a team representative explained. “Our customers stepped up in increased numbers and showed their support in voting for us, and we were pleased to achieve the accolade of Commended (third place) in this year’s awards.”
