This year's host
Hal Cruttenden is a comedian, actor and writer. His credits stretch from Eastenders and Shackleton all the way to Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week.
Hal is unashamedly suburban, by his own admission teetering on the edge of a mid-life crisis. According to The Scotsman ‘he takes the personal and the ridiculous, and whizzes them into a delicious comedy smoothie that’s sweet with a hint 9of sharpness.’ The Times commented that he ‘Reminded me how much I love stand up’, while the Daily Mirror says ‘He’s got something to say and he’ll make you laugh, a lot!’
He has appeared twice on The Royal Variety Performance, hosted Live at the Apollo and performed stand-up almost everywhere from Belgium to Bahrain and now at the British bank awards

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.
