Redwood Bank, head quartered in Hertfordshire, was tipped as ‘one to watch’ in the Best Challenger Bank category at this year’s Growth Finance Awards. It was also a runner up for the Best Place to Work prize.
A total of 18 awards were presented at the glitzy black-tie dinner that took place at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Wednesday, September 11.
The awards were developed to recognise the champions of small business finance and to celebrate the companies playing a vital role in the UK’s start-up and scale-up ecosystem.

"Being part of the very first Growth Finance Awards was a huge honour and we're very proud to have been a runner up and tipped as 'one to watch'."
