Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions has affirmed its role as one of the UK’s most respected and dynamic asset based funding introducers and solutions providers by scooping the title of Asset Based Finance Broker of the Year at the prestigious Business Moneyfacts Awards Dinner held at the London Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square.
The Awards showcase the most innovative and successful players in the business finance sector and Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions fought off stiff competition from five other highly reputable brokers to win this coveted title.
Evette Orams, Director of Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions, receiving the award on behalf of her team, commented: “This is a great honour, particularly as the past year has seen some of the toughest trading conditions in living memory for SMEs. It reflects the dedication and tremendous hard work everyone in the team has committed to the task of sourcing tailored funding solutions to help SMEs overcome cash flow challenges and grow their businesses.”
In recent years, asset based lending has been fundamental to this process and over the past 12 months accounted for a high proportion of the £4.5bn the team introduced to the commercial finance sector.
In the current economic climate, lending to SMEs is coming under much scrutiny, but Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions remain confident in their ability to find tailored funding solutions to help businesses survive the recession.
“This award clearly demonstrates the support we have within the industry. We have the trust and respect of our clients - and the funding providers - and by working together we can use this accolade as a stepping stone to help us push on and assist even more businesses in battling through the recession,” concludes Orams.
