The 2026 Yorkshire Financial Awards shortlist revealed
The independent judging panel reviewed and scored more than hundred submissions from across the Yorkshire financial services community.
It was a heroic effort to whittle down the huge number of submissions we had this year to a shortlist.
Out of the many submissions that we received, there can only be 24 winners, which will be announced at the ceremony in Leeds.
Don’t miss out on the chance to see who will be victorious. Contact sammy.kinlough@barkerbrooks.co.uk to confirm your tickets.
We can’t wait to see you at the awards!
