Consumer watchdog Which? has handed out a number of prestigious awards, detailing the best products and services that it believes are available on the market.

A ceremony was held at the British Museum to announce the winners, with broadcaster Fiona Bruce hosting the event.

A number of awards were handed out across all sectors and a number of financial firms were recognised for offering excellent value.

The Best Current Account Provider award was presented to Smile, while Marks & Spencer’s M&S Money walked away with the Best Credit Card Provider honour.

Deputy chief executive of M&S Money Eddie Nott expressed his joy at the result.

“We are delighted to win Best Credit Card Provider in the 2007 Which? awards. It is a particular honour to be recognised as the best on offer to British consumers following rigorous research carried out by Which?,” he said.

“The ‘& More’ card launched less than four years ago and now more than three million M&S shoppers are cardholders, making M&S Money a top ten credit card provider.

“As well as offering great products and service, we give our customers ‘a bit more M&S’ with the ‘& More’ loyalty scheme, nought per cent interest on shopping and fee-free balance transfers,” he added.

Which? congratulated all of those who picked up awards this year and called upon those that did not to up their game in the next 12 months.

“For those companies that didn’t get an award this year, we hope today will inspire them to try for the winning spot next year,” said Peter Vicary-Smith, chief executive of Which?.
