B&C Awards 2020: Judges announced




The judging panels for the Bridging & Commercial Awards 2020 have been revealed.

Two panels of industry experts — one formed of brokers, the other lenders — have been chosen to select the winners for 22 of the 25 award categories ahead of the ceremony on Thursday, 10th September 2020. 
 
Three of the award categories will be voted for solely by Medianett. 
 
The voting for the longlist opened a week ago and will close at midday on 17th April.
 
Both panels will then select up to eight nominees from the longlist in each category. 
 
Bridging & Commercial will publish the shortlist at the end of April.
 
The judging panels will then meet to select the winners, with brokers judging the lender categories and lenders determining the victors in the broker categories.
 
The winners will be revealed during the awards ceremony at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham .
 
A full explanation of the awards process can be found on the dedicated awards page.
