awards_2011_categories-and-nominations


Following a record confirmed number of attendees and a similarly staggering amount of nomination forms, 1195 to be exact, it gives us great pleasure to announce the official nominees for the Bridging & Commercial Awards 2011.

We have decided to put forward five nominees for each category which represent the companies/individuals who received the largest number of votes from the broker community in the form of nominations submitted.  The exception is where only four companies/individuals were nominated or when the gap between fourth and fifth place was significant enough to warrant only four official nominees.

And so, in no particular order, the nominees are...
