Alfa sponsor AFC Outstanding Achievement Award 2024

“Alfa is very proud to sponsor the Outstanding Achievement Award, which recognises an individual or team that had a significant, meaningful impact in asset finance during 2023,” commented Richard Dewire, Chief Revenue Officer at Alfa.

“Only with this type of contribution and dedication to excellence can the industry innovate and progress, which benefits us all. We look forward to showing the recipient our appreciation and celebrating their success.”

With the closing date for award nominations drawing near, all entries must be submitted by Friday 3rd May via the AFC Summer Awards website.

Winner of the AFC Outstanding Achievement Award 2023 was Louise McIntosh, Head of Asset Finance Operations at United Trust Bank (UTB) for her project management of the implementation of Alfa Start in 2022.

The project was delivered in 21 weeks, from start to finish, which included both the implementation of Alfa Start and the integration with ADP / Lending Metrics / Lexis Nexis for auto-decisions. This was an industry-first to go-live on Alfa Start including middle office functionality.

All of this was achieved against a backdrop of record-breaking lending volumes in UTB’s asset finance business and whilst maintaining industry leading service levels in this area.
