1pm wins two more Regional Business Awards

1pm plc ("1pm" or "the Company"), the AIM listed specialist independent provider of finance facilities to the SME sector, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a further two regional business awards in the past month.

At the Annual Bath Life Awards held recently at the world famous Assembly Rooms in the City of Bath, the Company won the prestigious Professional Services category. The award takes into account the quality and depth of professional business services, customer satisfaction and commercial success. Last week 1pm was also judged "Business of the Year" at the annual Women in Business Awards, co-sponsored by The Bristol Post and Bath Chronicle, where the winning company must have a female senior management team, can demonstrate it has innovative products, services and processes, is fast expanding into new markets and is having a positive impact on the region's economy.

These latest successes bring the total to four awards in the past nine months for 1pm as the Company continues to expand. They follow two national awards at the 2014 Small Cap Awards, supported by The London Stock Exchange.  

Commenting on these latest successes, Chief Executive Maria Lewis said:

"1pm is a nationwide business but it is a great pleasure to receive recognition of the Company's continued success from amongst our peers on home territory. The common theme running through all of the awards is recognition of the quality of the Company's service and the commercial skills and experience within the business, which we are proud to receive. I believe they are a very positive reflection on every individual member of staff."
