Ross Commercial Finance has been named a finalist across four major categories at the NACFB Awards 2026, one of the most prestigious Awards in the UK commercial finance industry. The firm has been shortlisted for Scottish Broker of the Year, Pioneering Broker of the Year, Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year, and the Women’s Advocate Award, run by the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB).
The announcement has made this year a special one for Ross Commercial Finance, with judges recognising the firm’s performance across four major distinct areas of the business: regional expertise, innovation in specialist funding, technical strength in commercial mortgages, and leadership on diversity within the sector. The NACFB Awards are judged by senior figures from across the commercial finance industry, and a finalist position is considered a huge mark in terms of credibility and achievement.
“To be shortlisted for four NACFB Awards in a single year is something we’re incredibly proud of,” said a Spokesperson for Ross Commercial Finance. Each of these categories represents something different and adds value to every field. Being recognised for all four means a different level of dedication for the entire team and the hard work shown by them.
Scottish Broker Awards 2026
The Scottish Broker of the Year nomination shows Ross Commercial’s Finance’s established presence in the Scottish Commercial finance market. The firm has built long-standing relationships with businesses across Scotland, supporting property developers, SMEs, and investors with funding solutions shaped around the realities of the local market. Judges cited the firm’s combination of national lending knowledge and regional insight as a key strength, with clients consistently praising the team’s accessibility and understanding of Scotland’s distinct economic and regulatory landscape.
Pioneering Broker of the Year 2026
The Pioneering Broker of the Year category recognises firms that find innovative solutions where conventional routes fall short. Ross Commercial Finance’s nomination reflects its track record of handling complex and unconventional funding cases, from bespoke multi-lender structures to finance for non-standard assets and clients with challenging credit histories. Rather than turning away difficult deals, the firm has built a reputation for finding workable paths forward, often where other brokers have been unable to help.
Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year 2026
In the Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year category, Ross Commercial Finance has been recognised for its work supporting a wide client base, including property investors expanding portfolios and business owners securing premises for growth. The firm’s approach centres on aligning finance structures with each client’s broader commercial objectives, drawing on strong lender relationships to secure competitive terms even amid a shifting interest rate environment. The nomination reflects sustained, high-quality delivery across a technically demanding area of the market.
Women’s Advocate Award 2026
The Women’s Advocate Award nomination recognises individual leadership in advancing the role of women within commercial finance, an industry that remains male-dominated at senior levels. The recognition reflects ongoing efforts within Ross Commercial Finance around mentorship, visible leadership and championing greater diversity across the sector. Unlike the firm’s other nominations, this award looks beyond transactional success, instead honouring the cultural contribution made toward building a more inclusive industry.
A Milestone Year for Ross Commercial Finance
Taken together, the four nominations represent a milestone moment for Ross Commercial Finance, reflecting strength across regional service, innovation, technical expertise and industry advocacy. For clients and lending partners, the recognition offers independent validation from across the sector that the firm’s work meets the highest standards in multiple disciplines. The firm’s leadership says the nominations also reinforce the culture they have worked to build internally, one that values both commercial excellence and the people behind it.
Looking Ahead
Winners of the NACFB Awards 2026 will be announced at the official awards ceremony later this year, bringing together finalists, lenders and figures from across the UK commercial finance industry. Ross Commercial Finance says it is looking forward to attending the ceremony and celebrating alongside fellow finalists, regardless of the final results, with the shortlisting itself already regarded internally as a significant achievement.
“Whatever happens on the night, being named a finalist four times over is a reflection of the hard work our team puts in every single day,” the spokesperson added. “We’re proud to be flying the flag for Scotland and for the broader values we believe in as a business.”
