MacManus Asset Finance, a business based in Caerphilly, was recently recognised as Asset Finance Broker of the Year at a UK-wide awards ceremony hosted by Claudia Winkleman for Business Moneyfacts in London on 18th April.
The event, attended by over 700 representatives from major financial institutions across the UK, took place at the Evolution Centre in Battersea, London. The competitive event highlighted the outstanding achievement of MacManus Asset Finance, established in 2005 by Chris and Rhian MacManus, operating from Caerphilly Business Park.
Chris MacManus noted that being on the finalist list was a significant milestone for the Welsh business, given its smaller size compared to some industry giants. However, winning the title of Asset Finance Broker of the Year surpassed all expectations, leaving the MacManus team thrilled and honoured.
The award, judged based on customer testimonials, was a testament to the premium service and unwavering commitment to clients provided by MacManus Asset Finance. Chris MacManus attributed their success to the overwhelming support and positive feedback received from their business customers over the years.

In response to their win, Chris MacManus extended a message to businesses in South Wales, emphasizing the expertise and support available within the region. He underlined the misconception that larger firms in England may be perceived as more suitable, and expressed hope that their achievement would challenge this perception and showcase the capabilities of local businesses. As the 2024 Business Moneyfacts Asset Finance Broker of the Year, MacManus Asset Finance stands as a proud representative of South Wales.
Lee Tillcock, Editor of Business Moneyfacts, praised the resilience and dedication of the business finance sector in the face of economic uncertainty.
