Lee Tillcock, Editor of Moneyfacts, said: “The finalists and eventual winners at this year’s awards should be rightly proud of their achievements and have offered a range of products and services that have best supported the personal finance sector. Following a year in which the personal finance sector had to deal with ongoing uncertainty it is evident that brokers and providers have managed to adapt to support consumers seeking financial support. We were once again greatly impressed with the level of commitment shown and the upbeat comments given by service providers and brokers. There is little doubt that the levels of choice and willingness to find real financial solutions have provided a real sense of optimism during the past year."
