We’re proud to share that, as part of the STAR Asset Finance Group, we have been named 🏆 Asset Finance Broker of the Year 2026 at the Moneyfacts Awards in London.

This is a fantastic achievement for our business, and even more special because it marks the third time in the last five years that we’ve won this award.

What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that these awards are based on genuine customer feedback. For us, that makes it a strong reflection of the service, support and outcomes we work hard to deliver every day.

For our customers, it is another reason to feel confident that you are working with an award-winning business finance provider that is trusted to deliver. It reinforces the value of choosing a partner with proven experience, a strong reputation in the market, and a commitment to understanding what customers truly need.

We’re proud to be supporting the continued growth of Bristol Twenty Coffee Company with an £80,000 funding package to expand their espresso machine rental portfolio.

Bristol Twenty is a family-run, independent business supplying ethically sourced, high-quality coffee to hospitality venues across the Southwest. Alongside their artisan roastery in Avonmouth, they help cafés, restaurants and hotels serve exceptional coffee without the high upfront cost of equipment which is backed by expert service and training.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱:
✔️ Increase their rental espresso machine fleet to 120+ machines
✔️ To meet growing demand from independent hospitality venues
✔️ Support internal investment in processing and white-label coffee packaging

The first machine funded through the deal is already live at Tapps Wine Bar in Bristol, with more installations planned, including Campden Coffee in Chipping Campden.

This partnership shows how the right finance, structured properly, can unlock growth quickly and confidently, not just for one business, but across an entire sector.

If you would like to see how we can help your business, come and see us at Expowest Cornwall - we’ll be at the Royal Cornwall Showground on 3rd & 4th March, helping catering and hospitality businesses plan for growth. Find us on Stand G29

Here at Ignition, we are delighted to be supporting Truro FC and now have a smart pitch-side hoarding.
On Saturday 26th April - with their highest gate of the season - around 3,500 fans saw Truro City win 5-2 against St Albans. This means Truro have clinched the league title and gained promotion from National League South to the National League. Next season, they'll be aiming for the Football League!

Ignition is based in Truro - and we are proud of our local team!
