1pm plc, the AIM listed specialist finance provider, is pleased to announce that it has been voted SME Champion - UK by a Panel of Asset Finance Industry Experts at the prestigious 2018 Leasing Life European Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony, held last week in Tallinn, Estonia. The Conference and Awards Ceremony, now in its fifteenth year, recognises the achievements of the European Asset Finance industry in 2018 across a number of categories.

The SME Champion Award recognizes those UK-based asset finance lenders who directly engage in supporting the SME market as a whole. The judging Panel were seeking a business with a demonstrable interest in SME markets beyond the provision of finance, combined with clear endorsements from clients, consistent business growth and an ongoing commitment to the SME market, citing specific examples of creative funding solutions and addressing SME market demands in imaginative and innovative ways.

Ian Smith, CEO, commented:

"At 1pm, we pride ourselves on the strength of our client relationships, the quality and flexibility of our service and our longstanding support of the UK SME Sector.
