The nominees for this year’s British Specialist Lending Awards have been confirmed, with more than 20 awards up for grabs.
The British Specialist Lending Awards recognise the accomplishments of individuals within the specialist lending sector and provide a platform to inspire and influence the wider mortgage community by showcasing individuals who raise the bar and challenge others to do so.
Some 69 people made the shortlist, with awards available across the broker, lender and business leader categories.
The judging is due to take place on 20 March and the awards ceremony will be held on 15 May at Hilton London Bankside.
Congratulations to all our nominees.
