Moneyfacts Awards - the winners

The winners of the 2007 Moneyfacts Awards were announced today at the prestigious Brewery venue in London.

The guest presenter this year was author, broadcaster, actor and entertainer Gyles Brandreth.

Andrew Hagger, Head of News and Press at Moneyfacts.co.uk said: “The Moneyfacts Awards recognise the banks, building societies and other financial providers which consistently provide the best products over the previous twelve months. Being completely independent, these awards are seen as a real benchmark for product excellence. Where advisers and consumers see a Moneyfacts Award logo, they can be sure the provider has won a truly impartial award.”
