Recognising the people and organisations that are part of the asset, auto and equipment finance industries, the Asset Finance Connect Summer Awards will be held on 9th July 2024 at City Central within the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company in London, book your table now.
With the closing date for award nominations drawing near, all entries must be submitted by Friday 12th April via the AFC Summer Awards website.
Celebrating personal achievement in the industry is the AFC Outstanding Achievement Award 2024, sponsored by Alfa, where a team or individual has been recognised by its organisation or by its industry partners for outstanding success in some aspect of their work during the past year. This award provides a unique opportunity for an organisation to recognise the star performers in their business or for suppliers to recognise talent in the organisations they work with.
Winner of the AFC Outstanding Achievement Award 2023 was Louise McIntosh, Head of Asset Finance Operations at United Trust Bank (UTB) for her project management of the implementation of Alfa Start in 2022.
The project was delivered in 21 weeks, from start to finish, which included both the implementation of Alfa Start and the integration with ADP / Lending Metrics / Lexis Nexis for auto-decisions. This was an industry-first to go-live on Alfa Start including middle office functionality.
All of this was achieved against a backdrop of record-breaking lending volumes in UTB's asset finance business and whilst maintaining industry leading service levels in this area.
Nathan Mollett, Head of Asset Finance at UTB said, “I am delighted that Louise’s successful management of this complex project was recognised with an Outstanding Achievement award as she somehow managed to balance a high-quality service in ‘business as usual’ operations with managing a very ambitious change agenda.”

- AFC excellence in compliance award 2024 - for companies whose compliance teams lead the way in establishing positive cultures and whose leaders are becoming the customer champions in the boardroom.
