On 15th November 2023, the 11:FS Awards celebrated their second year and you better believe we turned things up to 11!
Spotlighting those that helped move the industry forward and kept their customers as a North Star, every corner of financial services was recognised.
Those that built and delivered for their community, kept working to improve people’s relationship with money; despite it being one hell of a year. This was for you.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
Nick Hungerford
At this year's ceremony, we honoured the late Nutmeg Co-Founder Nick Hungerford with a Special Recognition award, not only for his incredible work within financial services, but for the legacy he has left beyond it as well.
Before Nick passed away earlier this year to bone cancer, he and his wife Nancy set up Elizabeth's Smile - a charity dedicated to supporting children who will lose a parent to terminal illness, named after their own daughter.
Nick's impact on financial services cannot be overstated and his commitment to helping millions of children through such a challenging time is something truly worth celebrating.
