Held on November 18 at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole
, the NACFB Award winners were announced at the end of a hugely successful Gala Dinner.
The winners were nominated and voted for by NACFB member brokers in its annual survey.
Chief executive of the association, Adam Tyler, said: “We were surprised and delighted by the response to the Gala Dinner, especially given the current climate, and we were thrilled to be able to welcome 400 guests to the dinner.
“Special mention must go to event sponsors, Barclays, whose support both for this event and brokers in general should be welcomed. Although not winners on the night, they came a very close second in a couple of hotly contested categories, so their support is far from unappreciated by brokers.”
Adam Tyler continued: “All the nominated and winning lenders should be commended for supporting brokers in tough times. Congratulations to everyone who made the list.”
