Popular categories include Alternative Lender of the Year, Best Company to Work For and Vulnerable Customer Strategy of the Year, with the former split into three sub-groups in 2019, such was its popularity. Meanwhile, Best Company to Work For was split into provider and creditor sub-categories, with both 4most and Hitachi Capital hoping to retain their titles.
