The Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is one of the UK’s largest and most prestigious business award programmes. It celebrates all industries, championing sustainability, diversity, equality, and those that have transcended expectations throughout the year.
Excellence is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution. This philosophy underpins AFS Group’s operations, allowing us to deliver outstanding services that enable our Brokers, Funders and their end clients to achieve significant growth and competitive advantage.
AFS Group operates in a highly regulated and competitive marketplace, providing financial solutions that empower businesses to enhance their operational efficiency and overall performance.
The calibre of entries each year for the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is always overwhelming in both volume and quality. This year, AFS Group stands out amidst a diverse array of submissions from industries such as energy, recruitment, wellbeing, food & drink, and tech. Our inclusion underscores the thriving nature of the UK business landscape, even in challenging times.
The ‘Business Enabler of the Year’ category recognises organisations that provide outstanding services, solutions, or products that enable clients to grow, improve productivity, and gain competitive advantages. AFS Group has demonstrated excellence in several areas:
- Leadership & Innovation: We foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, leveraging technology, automation, and data to drive our customers success.
- Organisational Ethics & Policies: Our commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) impacts and DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) differentiates us from other businesses of our size and scope.
- Financial Performance & Growth: We have a track record of sustained growth in sales and profits, which in turn translate into similar benefits for our Brokers and Funders.
Group CEO Nick Simpson stated, “Being a finalist for the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team as well as that of our Brokers and Funders. This external recognition comes after us attracting multiple award shortlists and wins in the first part of the year, including in the Business MoneyFacts, Bridging and Commercial and NACFB awards. I look forward to meeting the wider group of finalists at the ceremony in London later this year”.
