Together announced as headline sponsor for the 2026 Financial Reporter Awards
Every FRA winner is decided entirely by a broker vote, representing the views of Financial Reporter’s 21,000+ intermediary readership.
Financial Reporter is delighted to announce Together as the headline sponsor for the 2026 Financial Reporter Awards (FRAs), continuing its support for the brokers and businesses driving progress across the mortgage and financial services sectors.
Now firmly established as one of the most respected and inclusive awards programmes in the industry, the Financial Reporter Awards are a true reflection of the market as a whole, recognising excellence across mortgages, specialist lending, protection, and the brokers on the front line who make it all happen.
The 2026 Financial Reporter Awards party returns to Diecast, Manchester, on 10th June 2026, to celebrate the individuals and firms raising standards and pushing the industry forward.
Every FRA winner is decided entirely by a broker vote, representing the views of Financial Reporter’s 21,000+ intermediary readership, ensuring the awards remain an authentic voice of the adviser community and a genuine benchmark for achievement across financial services.
Nominations for the 2026 Financial Reporter Awards open in the new year.
Tanya Elmaz, managing director of intermediary sales at Together, said: “We’re proud to be supporting the Financial Reporter Awards as headline sponsor and we’re really looking forward to what will be a fantastic event.
“As a business built on strong partnerships with brokers, we enthusiastically support an awards programme that places the voices of advisers at its core - and celebrates excellence across the mortgage and specialist lending industries.
“The Awards’ mission to champion high standards align perfectly with Together’s own values of delivering common-sense lending and fostering long-term relationships.
“We look forward to engaging even more closely with our intermediary partners and supporting them in delivering outstanding outcomes, allowing their customers to achieve their property ambitions.”
Andy Shields, director at Financial Reporter’s parent company Barcadia Media, said: “We’re so excited to have Together as headline sponsor for the Financial Reporter Awards 2026.
"Last year’s programme was our biggest and most successful yet in terms of broker engagement, and moving the event to Manchester was a huge milestone for us. As a northern business, it was important that we gave mortgage and financial services professionals the opportunity to experience a truly standout awards event outside the M25, and the response was incredible.
"After such a fantastic return to the North in 2025, it was a no-brainer for us to establish the Financial Reporter Awards as a northern event for 2026. Partnering with a leading northern business like Together makes it even more special for us. They share our passion for supporting brokers and celebrating the gamechangers driving our industry forward. We can’t wait to get started.”
