B&C Awards 2017: Judges announced




The judging panels for the Bridging & Commercial Awards 2017 have now been named.

Two panels of industry experts have been chosen to select winners from 20 different categories ahead of the awards ceremony on 8th June at the Hurlingham Club, Fulham.

On 26th April, judges and two representatives from Medianett will select the top four to six nominees from a longlist of the top 10 polled in each category.

Voting for the longlist opened earlier this month.

The two panels – one of brokers and another comprising lenders – will then gather in London on 18th May to decide the fate of all shortlisted nominees, with brokers judging the lender categories and lenders judging the broker categories.

John Davies, managing director of Just Cash Flow PLC and chairman of the Association of Alternative Business Finance, and Adam Tyler, former chief executive of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers and managing director of FinancemyBusinessonline, will chair the broker and lender judging panels respectively.

Winners will be selected using the panels’ expertise and supporting documentation, such as testimonials.
