Credit, collections & insolvency news
Credit Connect is pleased to announce the companies, individuals, partnerships, teams and initiatives that have been shortlisted in this year’s eighth Credit & Collections Technology Awards 2024.
The Credit & Collections Technology Awards is the UK’s celebration of tech innovators in credit and collections. The technology-focused award scheme seeks to champion innovation and best customer outcome solutions. The shortlist highlights technological achievements from industry-specialist providers within the credit and collections industry during 2024.
The awards have been judged by a panel of industry experts who have examined solutions in four different category sections: creditor and lender, collections and recoveries, applied technology, and innovation.
Credit Connect has received more than 120 entries across 19 categories, with over 65 companies and individuals making it onto the final shortlist.
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 lenders and collections. This year’s Judging panel profiles can be viewed here.
Credit Connect Media will host the Awards ceremony as an in-person event at the Midland Hotel, Manchester on Thursday 7th November.
Preceding the Awards will see the fourth Credit & Collections Technology Think Tank. The face-to-face Think Tank will bring together lending, credit and collections technology executives and build upon the series of Lending and Collections virtual think tank events which have taken place across the last year. The agenda can be viewed here, with speakers to be announced soon.
Also taking place on the day is the Commercial Credit & Collections Conference – the event for Credit Managers, FDs and CFOs discussing trade credit challenges.
Colin White, Founding Director at Credit Connect Media and the Awards said “I have been in regular contact with several judges and have expressed interest in the range and selection of entries for this year’s Awards.
“Once again the calibre of entries this year has been exceptionally high, leaving our judging panel with a difficult task ahead of them Unfortunately, some entries had to be cut from the long lists so making it onto this year’s shortlist is a great achievement.
“We’re excited to celebrate these innovators and pioneers at our Awards ceremony on 7 November. Good luck to all the finalists!
“We also look forward to welcoming attendees to this year’s Think Tank and Commercial Conference.”
