The Best Small Broker At 2020 Mortgage Strategy Awards

 

We are absolutely thrilled to share with you, that we won The Best Small Broker Award at the 2020 Mortgage Strategy Awards. This is one of the leading events in the mortgage sector, and it isn’t an exaggeration to say this is the Oscars of Mortgages!

In explaining our victory, we were described as: “The winner of this category was described as being “inspiring”, “tenacious”, “authentic”, and
many other superlatives besides. Its growth story, with the owner taking it from the living room to the next level on a consistent basis each year, was praised for its ambition.”

The 2020 Mortgage Strategy Awards was hosted by Sally Phillips. Sally is a very familiar face of UK TV and film over the past three decades. Sally has starred in shows and films such as I’m Alan Partridge, Hippies, Smack the Pony, Green Wing, Jam & Jerusalem, Parents, and all three Bridget Jones films.

As you can imagine, it was quite surreal seeing such a popular figure present an award to us!

The Voting Process

There was a four-stage voting process to the Award, and this makes our achievement all the more humbling. We are thrilled so many people supported us during the Public Vote, and that the judges deemed us to be a worthy winner.

The four stages were:

  • Stage One – The Self-Nomination Process
  • Stage Two – The Public Vote
  • Stage Three – The Entry Process
  • Stage Four – Judging

The process was explained on the Awards site as follows:

“All votes were thoroughly reviewed by the Mortgage Strategy editorial team, and the firms with the highest number of votes in each category became our longlist. Longlisted firms were invited to submit entry forms, which were then sent to our expert panel of industry judges for review – their scores and comments created our shortlist. Shortlisted brokers and distributors were invited to attend an interview with our judges, while shortlisted lender and provider entries were debated by a second industry panel to decide the winners.”

Thank You!

The entire team at Xpress Mortgages would like to thank anyone who voted for us or who wished us well. In some ways, it is a shame that we couldn’t attend in person, the event was due to take place at the prestigious Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane London , but given the challenges we all face in 2020, that is not something to overly worry about!

Having been finalists on three occasions, we really appreciate winning this award, and you can rest assured we will do everything we can to ensure our clients receive the best standard of service.

The interview process, in front of six judges was a stressful day. This happened in January of this year, and the ceremony was initially postponed in March, rescheduled for September, and then it was decided to announce the winners online on 15th October.
