This month, Ellie in our Events team had the enjoyable job of calling three of our readers to tell them they had won £1,000 each!
The three readers had all taken part in our Consumer Awards Survey, sharing their opinions on the financial services brands they use, which decide the winners of the Moneyfacts Consumer Awards 2022. This year, over 110,000 consumers (who voted) had their say on 140 brands!
Our first winner, who wished to remain anonymous, said “I never expected to win anything from doing the surveys, but they were so simple and easy to fill in - and often related to financial decisions I was either contemplating or had recently made - that it was a welcome diversion whenever they appeared”. He intends to use his winnings to pay his Christmas credit card bill to treat his wife and young daughter to a short break away or a special treat.
Gemma B, our second winner was delighted “This is the first time in my life I've had a genuine call saying I've won money, and the first time I've won more than £5 at anything! It was an amazing surprise because I'd completely forgotten about the survey. I was just beginning to plan how to budget for my daughters' upcoming school residential trips and now no scrimping and saving will be necessary - we feel tremendously lucky!”
Our final winner, who also wished to remain anonymous, plans to book a summer holiday somewhere hot!
The survey results will be unveiled at the Moneyfacts Consumer Awards, held on 31st March at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.
