County Durham-based Anglo Scottish Asset Finance retains its top industry ranking and is recognised as one of the UK's fastest-growing asset finance brokers.

Anglo Scottish Asset Finance has been crowned the UK's largest asset finance broker for the second consecutive year, while also being recognised as one of the industry's “strongest growth” broker businesses in the newly expanded AF Broker 40 rankings at the annual Asset Finance Connect awards in London.

Sponsored by Propel, the prestigious AF Broker rankings recognise the UK's leading asset finance brokers based on business performance and growth. Having topped the inaugural AF Broker 30 in 2025, Anglo Scottish has retained the number one position as the rankings expanded to the AF Broker 40, cementing its status as the market leader.

The latest accolades come during a transformative period for the business following its successful return to independent ownership through a management buyout completed in 2024.

Managing Director, David Foster, said:

"Retaining our position as the UK's largest asset finance broker while also being recognised as one of the strongest-growing businesses in our sector is a tremendous achievement for everyone at Anglo Scottish.

"We originated more than £600 million of new business during our last financial year, representing growth of around 20% on the previous year. We've achieved that by staying true to our values –building lasting relationships, delivering exceptional customer service and continually expanding our customer base.

"Our business has always been built on diversification. We're not dependent on one asset class, one industry or one funding partner, which means we're well positioned to support businesses through changing market conditions."

Unlike many finance providers, Anglo Scottish takes a consultative approach with every customer, investing time to understand each business's ambitions, challenges and pain points before presenting tailored funding options.

That customer-first philosophy, combined with continued investment in technology, an extensive panel of funding partners and an increasingly sophisticated funding model, has helped establish Anglo Scottish as one of the UK's most respected independent asset finance brokers.

Retaining the industry's top ranking while achieving one of its strongest years of growth underlines the company's continued ambition to lead the market through expertise, innovation and long-term customer relationships.
