The voting period for the 2025 Leasing Broker Federation (LBF) Awards has been extended.

The extension is in response to strong demand, giving industry professionals further opportunity to recognise excellence across the leasing broker sector.

Entries will now close on 10th October 2025.

Now in its 15th year, the LBF Awards celebrate the achievements of brokers, funders, service providers and other key players in the industry.

The 2025 ceremony will take place on Friday 14th November at The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe, with the iconic venue offering unrivalled views of the River Thames and St Paul’s Cathedral.

Running from 12pm to 5pm, the event promises an afternoon of networking, insight and celebration for all attendees.

The awards aim to showcase the very best in the industry.

The categories for the event include Best Small Leasing Broker, as well as Medium and Large Leasing Broker, and the same three options for the Best Commercial Vehicle Leasing Broker and Best Electric Vehicle Leasing Broker.

The inclusion of Electric Vehicle Leasing Broker highlights the rapid advancements in the EV-space and shines a spotlight on those that are leading the way in the field. The comprehensive list of categories offers a wide range of options for entrants, assuring the entire leasing broker sector is included and celebrated.

Helen Thorne, a spokesperson for the LBF, said: “We have responded to demand, by extending the deadline. By giving people more chance to get their entries in, we’re making sure the results truly reflect the voice of the industry; these awards offer participants the opportunity, not only to gain recognition, but also to rub shoulders with the very best of the industry.

“Extending the nomination period ensures the whole industry will have the opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributions being made across the sector.

“The LBF Awards are one of the highlights of the broking calendar, and The Swan offers the perfect combination of elegance and accessibility to celebrate these achievements in a stunning and iconic venue.

“It’s all about creating an event that connects people as well as celebrating success.”
