The winners at the first ever Corporate Finance Awards were announced last night via a video broadcast.

Organised by the team behind Corporate Finance News, these awards celebrate the outstanding financial performance of the UK’s middle and larger sized companies and recognise the supplier organisations that support corporate finance including private equity and accountancy firms, banks, asset managers, tech providers and other key providers.

From day-to-day financing, accounting, taxation, structuring, investment decisions, cash management and treasury functions, UK corporates must navigate their way through numerous financial areas to excel in the current economic climate.

The Corporate Finance Awards recognise the efforts and success in these fields, and winners across 14 different categories were announced in a video broadcast last night.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s awards and congratulations to the winners. We hope to see you again next year.
