Bathgate Business Finance named a finalist in three categories across two prestigious awards, the Merseyside Independent Business Awards (MIBs) 2025 and the NACFB Commercial Broker Awards 2025, with the firm being awarded “Highly Commended” at the NACFB awards.
Bathgate was shortlisted at the national NACFB Commercial Broker Awards 2025 in both the Invoice Finance Broker of the Year (4+ Brokers) and Asset & Leasing Broker of the Year (4+ Brokers) categories. At the ceremony at Lancashire Cricket Club, which took place on Friday 19th September the company was recognised as “Highly Commended” in the latter, which was sponsored by Haydock Finance.
Bathgate has also been named as a finalist in the Professional Services Business of the Year category at the MIBs 2025, a title that the business proudly won in 2023.
Bathgate MD, Gordon Andrews, said: “As previous winners of the ‘Professional Services Business of the Year’ category at the MIBs, we are pleased to once again be recongised as a finalist. We’re also extremely proud of our shortlistings at the NACFB awards, and our ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Asset & Leasing Broker of the Year (4+ Brokers) category, where we were up against tough competition.
“This recognition is a reflection of our team’s hard work and expertise, and I am extremely proud of every single member. We had a fabulous evening at the NACFB awards, and we are now looking forward to celebrating with other fantastic finalists at the MIBs in two weeks time.”
Winners and finalists of the Merseyside Independent Business Awards will be announced on Thursday 16th October 2025, at the Rum Warehouse, Titanic Hotel, Liverpool.
