The evening of 25 March will see our ninth annual Business Moneyfacts Awards ceremony. This widely anticipated event will celebrate the best products and service in the business and commercial finance world and, given the difficult times we face, will be a welcome boost to those who have excelled in their sectors.

As with previous recessionary periods, it will be SMEs that lead an economic recovery through innovation and determination. We have been greatly impressed with the level of commitment shown and upbeat comments given by service providers Lee Tillcock,
