The Yorkshire Financial Awards are back – bigger and better than ever before – with entries for the 2026 event officially opening this Friday, 22 August.
Taking place at New Dock Hall in Leeds on Thursday 7 May 2026, the awards will once again bring together the region’s financial community for a night of celebration, networking, and recognition. This year’s event promises to be the most exciting yet, with the introduction of highly commended awards, an exciting guest host to be announced soon, and fantastic live entertainment on the night.
Open to organisations and individuals across the sector – including financial advisers, wealth managers, credit and insurance brokers, lenders, insurers, and fintech innovators – the awards shine a spotlight on the very best in Yorkshire’s financial services industry.
New categories for 2026 include Credit Broker of the Year and Best Marketing Campaign of the Year, with judges looking for campaigns that demonstrate creativity, results, and compliance with FCA regulations. Popular favourites also return, such as Small Financial Business of the Year, Director of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, and Customer Service Team of the Year.
This year’s event demonstrates a strong focus on the value of entering these awards. Finalists and winners will now receive greater visibility than ever before thanks to Yorkshire Financial News, which will provide extensive coverage across its email newsletters, social media channels, and ongoing editorial on its dedicated news site – already one of the most popular platforms for the sector in the region.
A spokesperson for the Yorkshire Financial Awards said:
“The 2026 awards mark a fresh chapter for this event. We’re launching the 2026 event with new categories, new opportunities for recognition, and a renewed commitment to celebrating the incredible talent in Yorkshire’s financial services sector. With wider exposure for finalists and winners through Yorkshire Financial News, an exciting guest host, and fantastic entertainment planned, this year’s ceremony will be the biggest and best we’ve ever staged.
