Yorkshire’s financial services sector is approaching a critical deadline and many businesses may not realise just how close they are to missing out.
With entries closing on 6 February, the Yorkshire Financial Awards are now in their final days of accepting submissions, triggering a late surge of interest from firms keen to secure recognition, visibility and a place at one of the region’s most high profile industry events.
The awards, which celebrate excellence across Yorkshire’s financial ecosystem, have become a powerful platform for organisations looking to raise their profile, strengthen credibility and stand out in an increasingly competitive market. From household names to fast growing challengers, past finalists and winners have used the awards to position themselves as leaders within the region.
This year’s programme is shaping up to be the biggest yet, with organisers introducing new award categories that reflect how the industry is evolving. For the first time, businesses can enter Best Marketing Campaign of the Year, recognising creativity and commercial impact, alongside Credit Broker of the Year, shining a spotlight on one of the sector’s fastest growing specialisms.
But the awards are about more than trophies alone.
Entrants this year will benefit from additional free PR and exposure, with extended coverage across Yorkshire Financial News before and after the event. This gives businesses more opportunities to tell their story, showcase achievements and gain visibility with senior decision makers across the region.
Following the close of entries on 6 February, the judging process will move quickly, with the official shortlist announced in April. Finalists will then be invited to attend the awards ceremony on 7 May in Leeds, an event that will bring together leaders, innovators and rising talent from across Yorkshire’s financial services community. Organisers have also confirmed that exclusive live entertainment will feature on the night, with further announcements expected soon.
With only days remaining, the message is clear. This is the final opportunity to enter the Yorkshire Financial Awards and late submissions are already flooding in.
For businesses that believe their work deserves recognition, the clock is ticking and you can register your business to enter at https://yorkshirefinancialawards.co.uk/register/.
