Credit, Collections & Insolvency News
Credit Connect has announced the shortlist of companies and partnerships for this year’s second annual Credit & Collections Industry Awards.
The finalists for this year’s awards consist of 97 entrants (whittled down from over 100 entries) from 73 companies within the shortlist, there are 23 partnerships in the running to win across the 20 categories.
The finalists have been decided by a panel of esteemed, experienced industry leaders using a unique judging process. Credit Connect’s panel of judges are chosen based on their industry background providing a view from credit and collections.
The Credit & Collections Industry Awards were launched last year to highlight the success of companies and individuals who lead the way in enhancing credit, lending and collections best practices. All of the awards are on an entry basis whereby companies have the opportunity to nominate themselves or enter within a partnership. The awards are an opportunity to assess the people and companies that focus on customer experience and provide a benchmark in industry best practices.
The Awards prides itself on the transparent judging process, which allows all entrants to request an Insight Performance report post event to review performance.
Colin White, Founding Director at Credit Connect, said, “I’m excited to announce the year’s shortlist and bring to life this year’s ceremony after having to cancel the awards ceremony last year because it clashed with the general election. It was great to see a massive increase in entrants and companies entering this year, proving that our transparent and unique awards scheme has a place in the industry.”
“I would like to thank the judges for working their way through the entries to date and creating this year’s shortlist. Becoming a finalist is an incredible achievement in itself, with so much market competition.”
“The awards will be the pinnacle of our Spring Events series, which also includes the Commercial Credit & Collections Conference and Credit & Collections Think Tank. I’m also looking forward to unveiling the inaugural 2025 Industry Leaders List. The Awards and the Industry Leaders list aim is to recognise the leaders driving industry change in the credit and collections sector.”
