News Nominate your employer for the Asset Finance Connect Best Organisation to Work for Award Published: 23rd April 2024 Share Recognising the people and organisations that are part of the asset, auto and equipment finance industries, the Asset Finance Connect Summer Awards will be held on 9th July 2024 at City Central within the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company in London, book your table now. Designed to recognise the best employer within the asset and auto finance communities, the hotly contested AFC Best Organisation to Work for Award is judged anonymously by the company’s own employees, meaning the accolade of “best company to work for” really is a true endorsement of how your employees feel. Last year the AFC Best Organisation to Work for (Broker) Award was awarded to Millbrook Business Finance for its “great people, great management, and great innovation.” On winning the award, Millbrook’s Managing Director Justin Amos said, “Winning the ‘AFC best auto or equipment finance organisation to work for’ award has been a huge honour, which has been made even more rewarding knowing it’s voted for by our own employees. “This award is for every member of our team, who not only go above and beyond for our clients, but for each other as well.” This AFC award provides a unique opportunity for employees to recognise the organisations they work for and the special culture, values and environment they are creating and upholding. Those making the shortlist truly deserve to be there and have been backed by their own personnel, showcasing to the industry how much their employees appreciate them. As many companies fight to attract new talent to their organisation, accolades such as this really do play a vital role in substantiating why someone should be looking to join your company. Millbrook’s Amos believes that “in a highly competitive hiring environment, it’s crucial to have an edge when attracting top talent. One way to achieve this is though having a strong vision and mission focus. Millbrook embodies a dynamic and entrepreneurial spirit, a coaching culture, and at the centre is a respect and duty of care for the individual. In short, we see ourselves as a family and treat each other with the same values.” Other 2024 award categories include: AFC excellence in compliance award 2024 – for companies whose compliance teams lead the way in establishing positive cultures and whose leaders are becoming the customer champions in the boardroom.
