Following the success of the additional category Broker of Year in 2012, four new categories have been added to the roster in 2013.

These are International Lessor of the Year, recognising excellence in leasing outside Europe, Equipment Provider of the Year, championing the other side of sale-aid finance partnerships ad awarding the equipment provider which has done the most to promote the use of asset finance within its business, Product & Service Innovation of the Year, which will highlight the development of additional services and products designed to enhance a finance offering, and Green Finance Transaction of the Year, to be awarded to the lender deemed either to have completed the most significant single transaction involving a "green" asset or to have funded the greatest proportion of "green" deals.

The established categories of Captive Finance Provider, Vendor Finance Provider, Asset Finance Legal Provider, SME Champion, Broker of the Year, and European Lessor of the Year will all be fiercely contested again in 2013.

This year the nominations process has been simplified with initial submissions accepted in the form an "intention to nominate" only.

Readers can send in the name of the company to be nominated, the award(s) being competed for, and contact details of the person handling the submission to Vicki.Walker@uk.timetric.com until 5pm 14 June, after which more detailed nomination packs will be accepted.
