It was a fantastic night for the Silverstone Leasing team as we headed to London for the SME National Business Awards 2026, held on Friday 6th November at the Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge Hotel.
We were incredibly proud to attend as finalists in not one, but two national award categories:
-
High Growth Business of the Year
-
Service Excellence
Although we didn't come away with an award this year, being recognised alongside some of the best businesses from across the UK was a brilliant achievement and something we're all extremely proud of.
A Great Night Celebrating British Business
The SME National Business Awards bring together businesses of all sizes and from a wide range of industries, recognising the hard work, determination and achievements of companies across the country.
For us, it was a great opportunity to get the team together, enjoy a fantastic evening and celebrate how far Silverstone Leasing has come.
We've worked incredibly hard over the last few years to grow the business, develop our services and, most importantly, maintain the personal customer service that Silverstone Leasing was built on.
To receive national recognition for both our growth and customer service makes all that hard work worthwhile.
Congratulations to EquiTech Group!
We also want to say a massive congratulations to EquiTech Group, who took home the Gold award for Service Excellence.
This was particularly special for us, as the team at EquiTech Group are not only friends of Silverstone Leasing but also valued customers!
Although we were finalists in the same category, we couldn't have been happier to see them collect the award.
A thoroughly deserved win, and a huge well done to everyone at EquiTech Group!
Proud of What We've Achieved
Silverstone Leasing has come a long way since we started the business in 2012.
As a family-run company based in Northamptonshire, we've always believed that looking after our customers, being straightforward to deal with and building good relationships are what really matter.
As we've grown, that approach hasn't changed.
Being shortlisted for High Growth Business of the Year is recognition of how much the company has developed, while reaching the final of Service Excellence means just as much to us.
Our sales, customer care, accounts and wider team all play a part in making Silverstone Leasing what it is today.
And while it's always nice to bring home a trophy, being recognised nationally in two categories is an achievement in itself.
A Thank You to Our Team and Customers
A big thank you to everyone at Silverstone Leasing for the continued hard work and commitment you put into the business.
We'd also like to thank our customers, supplying dealers, finance partners and everyone who has supported us along the way.
Without that support, we wouldn't be where we are today.
We had a brilliant night in London, enjoyed celebrating with some fantastic businesses and came away feeling very proud of what we've achieved.
We might not have brought home an award this time, but being a double finalist at the SME National Business Awards 2026 is certainly something worth celebrating!
Here's to continuing to grow, looking after our customers and seeing what the next year brings.
