Association unveils shortlist for 2021 Patron Awards
The NACFB has announced the shortlist for this year’s Patron Awards. The shortlist features over 60 organisations across 15 categories, all vying for a coveted award that seeks to recognise the very best in lending industry excellence.
The winners will be announced at the annual NACFB Patron Awards & Gala Dinner after the Association’s Member firms have cast their online votes.
Last year, COVID put pay to physical award ceremonies, but the in-person ceremony will return to its usual home at the Westminster Park Plaza on Thursday 25th November.
Tickets to the flagship event are selling fast and the window in which to purchase early bird tickets closes next Friday 24th September. Find out more and secure your place online here.
All shortlisted organisations are automatically placed into an additional NACFB Patron of the Year category. Best of luck to all the NACFB Patrons and Associate Patrons shortlisted, the full shortlist can be found below.
