"We want to highlight those firms and their employees who have gone above and beyond to support intermediaries through one of the most challenging periods in our industry"
- Rozi Jones, editor of Financial Reporter
Financial Reporter is excited to announce the launch of its 15th annual Financial Reporter Awards.
The Financial Reporter Awards programme is designed to promote excellent service and practice in the mortgage industry - and reward those who uphold these values.
The Awards will follow the new format launched last year, which gives readers - mortgage brokers and intermediaries from across the UK - the final say in selecting the winners. After an initial application and nomination process and a judge's shortlist, our readers will have the final vote to determine the winners of the Financial Reporter Awards.
The revamped process sees a return to placing our readers at the heart of the process - amplifying the voice of the intermediary community.
Alongside the existing award categories, there are three categories which will be voted on solely by our readers: Best Product Range, Best Service Levels and Best Lender Technology.
Applications and nominations are now open – to nominate yourself, your business or another business, visit: https://www.financialreporterawards.co.uk/.
Applications close on the 1st of March before judging opens on the 11th. The finalists will then be announced on the 28th of March and the Reader's Vote will open from the 8th of April - 3rd of May before the winners are announced at the Financial Reporter Awards party on the 5th of June.
Rozi Jones, editor of Financial Reporter, said: "We're delighted to kick off the New Year with the launch of our fifteenth annual Financial Reporter Awards.
"The financial services industry has faced an unprecedented level of upheaval since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and, now more than ever in the current high-interest rate environment, it's vital that lenders are proactive and innovative in their products, pricing and technology, particularly with the introduction of the FCA's new Consumer Duty rules.
"We want to highlight those firms and their employees who have gone above and beyond to support intermediaries through one of the most challenging periods in our industry, and one which is set to continue this year.
“We’re looking for genuinely exciting, innovative and exceptional businesses, and the combination of the intermediaries’ vote and the knowledge and insight of our judges is perfectly placed to uncover exactly who deserves to take home one of these coveted awards.
“As always, the advice community has the chance to use their voice in the Financial Reporter Awards and we hope you use it to really shout about the businesses you value - we can’t wait to see your applications and nominations!”
