Further details surrounding 2013’s Loan Talk Secured Loans Awards, including the event’s sponsors, have been confirmed.

The long-awaited Secured Loans Awards, which will be the first recognised awards within the second charge sector, is set to take place at an undisclosed London location in the first week of December.

We are also proud to announce that the event will be sponsored by both Shawbrook Bank and Blemain Finance, both prominent lenders in the secured finance world.

Loan Talk will host around 300 guests on the evening, as the industry’s finest gather to celebrate another successful year.

The night will also see a number of the sector’s best recognised for their achievements, including naming the best Secured Loans Lender of the Year and the Secured Loans Personality of the Year.

Industry professionals can still nominate their preferred individuals and firms across all 11 categories here.

Gary Bailey, Sales & Marketing Director at Blemain Finance, said: “It’s a very exciting opportunity for Blemain Finance to be co-sponsors of the inaugural Secured Loans Awards. There are several other industry awards that run throughout the year, but having a specific ceremony for secured loans demonstrates the growing importance of this form of lending with brokers and lenders alike.

“As a lender who has been offering innovative secured products for almost 40 years, we will continue to work hard with the industry and our brokers to promote this sector of lending.”

He added: “The secured loans market has remained buoyant for a long time now and there continues to be a high demand. I hope the Awards will be a huge success and will become a fixture in the annual awards calendar.”

Maeve Ward, Shawbrook’s Head of Sales, Secured Lending, said: “Shawbrook is proud to be co-sponsoring the inaugural Loan Talk awards taking place in London in the first week in December. These awards, the first specifically for the secured loan industry, show how far the sector has come in such a short time and raise the bar in terms of the standards that everyone in the industry should strive for.

She added: “The past 18 months has seen everyone in the industry from packagers, valuers, brokers and lenders such as Shawbrook, continue to push the boundaries in terms of our service and product offering to customers which is continuing to fuel the growth of the secured loans market. These awards will be a great celebration of this achievement and we look forward to attending.”

Tables of ten are available to be booked but are sure to sell out well in advance of the event.
