THE Broker News Awards will be moving to a new venue in 2026.
Taking place on 23 April, 2026, the awards will take place at lunchtime at the renowned City eatery the Coq d’Argent.
The Coq d’Argent features a stunning balcony with views over the city (main picture) where we’ll have the champagne reception before the three course lunch and awards ceremony.
“We’ve had three excellent years at The Orrery with exemplary service, food and in such a fabulous setting. But as the awards have grown in popularity, the demand for seats has outgrown the availability at The Orrery. But in the Coq d’Argent we have found a perfect venue for the next phase of our awards. I look forward to seeing you all there in 2026.”
Ralph Morton, Editorial Director, Broker News Tweet
Broker News will be running a marketing campaign over the next six months to promote the awards and encourage wider participation from the broker community.
We will also be announcing our Headline Partner shortly.
In the meantime, put the date in your diary: lunchtime, 23 April 2026.
