Awards take place tonight, a glittering awards ceremony in central London. And we’re up for an award! Creditplus have reached the final shortlist for the Best Automotive blog category. After being highly commended last year, we’re hoping to take it one step further this year and seal the win. Here’s a recap of some of our favourite blogs, and what we learned from the last UK Blog Awards.

Creditplus and the UK Blog Awards

Last year’s commendation was a big inspiration for those behind the blog here at Creditplus. Knowing you are doing something right and being recognised by industry professionals was a fantastic achievement. But who remembers second place? This year we’ve put a lot of effort into improving the Creditplus blog, expanding the breadth and depth of topics covered, spending more time researching and writing each article. We also expanded the team, bringing James Dwyer and Luke Tovey on as blog specialists. Hopefully all the time, hard work and creativity will be recognised at the awards ceremony tonight!

Thrilled to be highly commended by the UK Blog Awards
