The conference focused on the industry’s strategic role in the recovery of European economies and how to prepare for future challenges of technological change and digital disruption.
The awards challenged candidates from across Europe to share their recent successes and the achievements of the European asset finance industry in 2015. The winners across 12 categories were carefully selected by the judging panel and honoured in the ceremony hosted by COO of CHP Consulting, Andrew Denton and editor of Leasing Life – Brian Cantwell.
The panel of judges brought in fresh industry expertise and longstanding knowledge of Europe’s asset finance industry. The judging panel was actively involved in the evaluation process, guaranteeing the independence and transparency of the programme.
"Our judges did an excellent job of making the hard decisions to pick our winners and runners up. I would like to recognize the fact that there were some new entries into the awards this year, and some familiar names that have re-emerged, so it gives a real sense of ambition and achievement alongside a respect for the longevity that some of these brands have accumulated in the market since we started the awards," said Cantwell.
