UPDATE ON 2020 AWARDS

It is with great regret that in the face of the current unprecedented challenges all businesses are dealing with, the Sponsors have decided to defer the Yorkshire Finance Leaders Awards until 2021.

We are delighted to welcome Lloyds Bank as a new sponsor this year, and are very much looking forward to launching the awards at the beginning of 2021.

Private Equity

This award is open to interim and incumbent finance leaders who have played a significant part in facilitating the disposal or acquisition of a PE backed business. The judges will be looking for acumen and skill, effective communication and working with the teams to maintain and enhance the value of the business.

NFP/ Public Sector

This award is open to the finance leaders who can demonstrate their role in ensuring that the NFP organisation works like a commercial business with a sound understanding and articulation of the goals of the organisation and what the future looks like. 

Finance Team

If you feel that as a finance leader you have a team that needs to be truly acknowledged with an award then why not tell us why they are so valued. This can be a team that consistently delivers over and above their objectives, all pull in the same direction and have a positive impact on the success of the business

Private or Family Business

This award will recognise the achievements of a finance leader who has been able to maintain the fundamental ethos of the business whilst managing growth and articulating and communicating the future strategy.

PLC

This finance leader of this award will be able to demonstrate that success is not short term and not solely recognised by the share price. They will be able to articulate the financial aspects of the strategy to support improved, sustainable profitability and the role they will play in this.

High Growth Start Up

This award is aimed at the finance leaders of businesses less than 5 years old who have demonstrated a clear point of differentiation (either products or services). Judges will be focussed not just on the finance leaders who are able to show growth in turnover and profitability to date but also able to articulate their role in the future potential of the business

International Finance Leader

This award is open to any finance leader who has been instrumental in developing significant growth in overseas company sales and profits, been part of an export victory for a product or service following an innovation in the business, or significantly improved global financial communication and control with an efficient finance function to facilitate effective growth.

Deal of the Year​

​

This is open to a finance leader who has played a significant role in either the acquisition, disposal or merger of a business (UK or overseas), or completed a successful financial or commercial restructuring.

Outstanding Finance Leader

Charity

Across the UK there are children who, through no fault of their own, have to cope with sickness, disability or disadvantage.

That's why YFL have partnered up with Variety. They provide practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference to those children and their families; aiding them in reaching their true potential.

“We are truly grateful for the support and donations on the YFL evening. We raised an impressive £3,700 and also had pledges for equipment and people volunteering their time, all of which will make a real difference to the disadvantaged children in our region.”
