The Yorkshire Financial Awards will open for entries in mid-August, with the 2026 programme introducing two exciting new categories: Credit Broker of the Year and Best Marketing Campaign of the Year.
As the premier celebration of excellence in Yorkshire’s financial services sector, the awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding individuals, teams and organisations driving progress and innovation across the region. Previous winners include the likes of LGT Wealth Management, PenLife Associates Limited, Evelyn Partners, Coversure Insurance, Berry & Oak and NFU Mutual.
Open to financial businesses of all sizes operating in the Yorkshire region, the awards are designed to reflect the breadth of the industry – from wealth management and accountancy to fintech, insurance, lending, and beyond. Categories span team, individual and organisational achievements, ensuring that professionals at every level – from trainees to managing directors – have the chance to be recognised.
The addition of Credit Broker of the Year acknowledges the growing importance of responsible credit services across the region, while Best Marketing Campaign of the Year highlights the value of creativity and client engagement in an increasingly competitive and highly regulated landscape.
The 2026 ceremony will take place on 7 May at New Dock Hall in Leeds, bringing together hundreds of professionals for a night of celebration, recognition and networking.
