British Mortgage Awards 2018 | British Mortgage Awards | 4 May 2018 | Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, 200 Westminster Bridge Rd, Lambeth, London SE1 7UT, UK

The British Mortgage Awards recognise the stand out achievements of the most deserving individuals in the UK mortgage industry, congratulations go to this year’s winners, who truly went beyond expectation and demonstrated excellence to claim their titles.

In the 13 years since The British Mortgage Awards were introduced, the industry has undergone several seismic shifts. But each year our nominees and winners have demonstrated excellence in the intermediary sector. Every individual has shown a willingness to embrace change and innovate, or adapt and seize the opportunity that change inevitably creates.

The Mortgage Solutions team believes it is always vitally important to celebrate such excellence, no matter the market. Not only does attaining recognition at these awards reward and motivate the best people, the event itself offers peerless networking and a moment to reflect on the industry’s achievements.

Taking the time to celebrate excellence is positive not just for the individuals concerned, but for the market in general.
