White Oak UK named UK SME Champions at Leasing Life Awards 2019

02 December 2019

The 15th annual European Leasing Life Conference & Awards took place at the Hyatt Sofia in Barcelona on Thursday 28th November, bringing together a broad cohort of key decision makers across the worlds of asset finance, leasing, banks, technology and law firms.

Top of the discussion agenda at the conference itself was inspired digitisation, asset lifecycles and a service-led approach, following a view that banks and financial institutions across Europe continue to wrestle with the challenge of “re-defining the conventional role and perception” of leasing and finance.

Indeed, the takeaway message was a need to adapt and thrive in a digital age has never been more important for the finance industry.

The day-long event culminated with the Leasing Life Awards, celebrating the “very best in the industry” across 12 unique categories, in which White Oak UK was shortlisted.

On the night, we were ecstatic to be recognised as winners of the SME Champion (UK) award, an accolade that we believe is testament to our continued focus on providing small and medium sized businesses across the UK with access to fast, effective finance solutions, for a multitude of evolving needs.

In an environment where more and more small businesses are struggling to access the funds they need to sustain, invest and grow.

Commenting on the win, White Oak UK CEO, Andy Davis said:

“I’m delighted and incredibly proud that the business has been recognised as SME Champion (UK). Ensuring access to finance for SME’s in a continually challenging environment, where they remain largely underserved is something we remain committed to.

“Our focus on developing and delivering the best solutions and experiences for our small business clients is key to our success. This is a great accolade for the business.”
