Reflecting on a successful evening as headline sponsor of the CICM British Credit Awards 2026

11th February 2026

DCB Legal is delighted to have been the headline sponsor of this year’s British Credit Awards, hosted by the Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM).

Held at Royal Lancaster London last Thursday, it was a truly fantastic evening that brought together professionals from across the credit management and collections industry to recognise the people and teams driving progress within the sector.

It was important for us at DCB Legal to support these awards as they reflect the values that sit at the heart of responsible credit management. The British Credit Awards recognise professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to treating customers fairly, and supporting them aligns with our belief in raising standards and promoting ethical practice across the industry.

We would like to congratulate all the winners and finalists recognised on the night. We were also pleased to see our sister company, DCBL, awarded for ‘Excellence in Supporting Vulnerable Customers’. We are especially proud that DCBL secured the top spot among a strong shortlist, all of whom are doing exceptional work to support vulnerable customers.

DCBL continues to invest in its people, processes, and operational practices to ensure customers are treated ethically and supported appropriately, particularly those who may be vulnerable. It was encouraging to see this work recognised by the industry.

Commenting on the evening, Darren Connor, Group COO of DCBL and DCB Legal, who was in attendance, shared:

“It was a privilege for DCB Legal to support the CICM British Credit Awards as headline sponsor.

“What stood out was the standards and integrity shown across the industry. Credit management professionals are often balancing commercial pressures with regulatory expectations and the real-world impact of their decisions. Much of that work happens quietly, but it plays an important role in building trust and supporting the continued development of the sector.

“Conversations on the night made it clear that the industry’s challenges are being navigated with innovation and integrity. I look forward to further collaboration and opportunities for sharing experiences with more events on the agenda this year.

I hope everyone who attended had a fantastic evening, and congratulations to all of the winners and finalists.”

DCB Legal was pleased to support an event that recognises best practice and celebrates the everyday professionalism that underpins responsible credit management.”
