Simon Evans

This year's host

Simon Evans is one of the UK’s most respected and best loved comedians. Familiar from countless TV and radio appearances and critically acclaimed tour shows, he is particularly popular on the corporate and after dinner circuit.

He has been at the top of his game now for over twenty-five years and his TV credits include appearances on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow, and Channel 4’s Stand Up for the Week.

On BBC Radio 4 his series Simon Evans Goes to Market, delighting audiences with his witty and insightful take on the comedically-unpromising territory of economics, has had six seasons so far, all of which prove among the most popular downloads on the Sounds App.

In 2025 Simon’s current tour show Have We Met? with all the gnarly old charm and verve you’d expect, is live until April and then we are delighted he will be our host at the British bank awards in May.

What people said about the gala evening

Bevis Watts - Chief Executive - Triodos Bank

We are immensely grateful to all our customers who provided reviews with Smart Money People to help us win the ‘Best ethical financial provider’ award for a second year in a row in the British bank awards. For us sustainability and ethics have always been central to who we are and everything we do has a focus on these positive values so it is great to be recognised for that. Let’s not forget that banks have a critical role to play in addressing big issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and inequality. They can make conscious decisions about what and who they finance, which is why this category is so important.

Joshua Ladd - UPL Lead - Zopa Bank

The British bank awards are recognised by consumers as the benchmark for the top financial products as they are entirely customer-voted.
 
Winning Best personal loan provider this year was a significant step for Zopa Bank showcasing our track record of listening to and meeting the needs of our loan customers. The gala awards evening was also a great opportunity to celebrate the team’s success and network with our industry peers.
 
We look forward to next year's voting and ceremony where we hope to celebrate again.
