Going Further - to the judges!
07/08/2026
The entries are in for Leasing World’s Going Further Gold Awards 2026, an event which takes place in just over two months’ time. Now our judges have the near-impossible job of deciding which are the absolute best submissions, ahead of handing out the coveted gold statuettes on the night of 7 October.
The event (#LWGOLD26), with its exclusively asset finance audience, its warm collegiate ambience, and those much-anticipated awards, is returning to its usual Hilton Bankside venue. For the third year running our headline sponsor is United Trust Bank led by Head of Asset Finance Nathan Mollett, and we greatly appreciate their support both behind the scenes and on the stage. This year we also welcome TLT LLP who are generously sponsoring the pre-dinner Drinks Reception up on the mezzanine level of the Hilton’s ballroom.
