It was a thrilling evening for Firenze as we were awarded the Leading Innovation Award at the Vanguard UK Platform Awards.
The award celebrates innovation, rewarding a solution that makes life better for platforms, advisers, or investors. The solution should break new ground in novel ways, and be cost-effective for the client or adviser.
At Firenze, our Lombard lending solution fits this bill, making the product available to the mass affluent, who account for £3.5 trillion of ‘locked’ wealth in the UK. Our market-leading technology, careful legal structuring, secure compliant workflows, and quick application turnarounds, all contribute to ensuring our investment-backed lending solution is a pioneering solution in the space.
Our Revenue Team attended the show in true fashion at the London Hilton on Park Lane, and the event sparked discussion and networking opportunities with other firms who are equally striving to revolutionise the wealth management space.
Commenting on our win, David Newman, CEO of Firenze, said
“These are one of the most prestigious awards in the wealth market, with large swathes of top-class companies and innovators in attendance. There was some tough competition for the award so it was a real and genuine surprise and achievement to win. It was fantastic to get recognition for everyone in Firenze’s efforts.”
A huge congratulations to all who were nominated, and a warm thank you to Vanguard for recognising the work of our team.
