The Alternative Credit Awards 2024, hosted by Alternative Credit Investor magazine, took place on Wednesday 6 November at the Royal Lancaster London.
These prestigious awards commemorate the most influential fund managers, specialist lenders and service providers in the alternative credit industry.
