CLIFTON Moor-based Acorn Commercial Finance has again been shortlisted as finalists for the Business Moneyfacts Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year awards.

This is the third time the business finance specialists has entered the awards, winning the title at the first attempt in 2013 and being shortlisted again in 2014.

Established in 1997, Acorn is operated by father and son partnership Tom and Paul Thompson.

Founder and Partner Paul Thompson was overjoyed to have been shortlisted once again for the awards in 2015.

He said: "It’s an honour for a small firm from York to be recognised nationally, and against many far larger companies.

"We focus on helping business owners from all over the UK access the finance they need to thrive in a difficult market at the same time offering a very personal service. Something which our clients, and the industry love."

The awards presentations will be in London next March and Acorn are hoping to bring another title back home to Yorkshire.
