Britannia Car Leasing are delighted to announce that we have been named Business of the Year 2026 at the prestigious North Cheshire Business Awards.
The awards ceremony, held at the stunning Mottram Hall on 3rd July, brought together businesses of all sizes from across the region to celebrate the achievements, innovation and success of organisations throughout North Cheshire. We are incredibly proud to have taken home the evening's highest accolade, recognising what has been an outstanding year for the business and our team.
This year's awards were particularly special for Britannia Car Leasing, as we were shortlisted in three categories:
- Business of the Year
- Businessperson of the Year
- Team of the Year
To be recognised in three highly competitive categories was an achievement in itself and reflects the dedication, talent and hard work demonstrated across every part of our business. We were especially proud to see our Managing Director, Craig Cooke, shortlisted for Businessperson of the Year alongside some of the region's most respected business leaders.
To come away with the top prize for Business of the Year 2026 is a fantastic achievement and speaks volumes about our entire team and their efforts to provide an incredible service to our customers. Winning this award reflects the hard work and professionalism of our team as we go from strength to strength.
Managing Director, Craig Cooke, said:
“This is a tremendous achievement and one that every single member of the team should be incredibly proud of. Awards like this are not won by one person; they are the result of the hard work, professionalism, dedication and commitment shown by all of you every day.
Over the past year, we have continued to grow, welcomed new colleagues, strengthened our market position and built an even stronger business. Through every challenge and opportunity, your passion, teamwork and commitment to delivering exceptional service have been at the heart of our success.
This award recognises not only our business performance, but also the culture we have built together. It reflects the values that make Britannia special – putting customers first, supporting one another, embracing innovation and always striving to improve. These themes were central to our award presentation and the recognition we have received.”
A Proud Moment for the Entire Team
Being recognised as the North Cheshire Business Awards' Business of the Year 2026 is a significant milestone in the Britannia Car Leasing journey. While we are proud of the growth we have achieved, we are even prouder of the culture we have built and the reputation we have earned among customers, partners and colleagues alike.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to North Cheshire Chamber of Commerce for organising such a fantastic event and for recognising the achievements of businesses across the region. Congratulations also go to all of the finalists and winners who were shortlisted alongside us.
As we move into the second half of the year, we remain focused on building on this success. We are dedicated to continuing our strong growth, and real commitment to our team, customers, and community.
Thank you to our customers, partners and, most importantly, our incredible team. This award would not have been possible without your support.
