The winners of the inaugural Mortgage Awards 2018 were announced last night at a glittering gala ceremony in London attended by over 200 people.
Comedian Alun Cochrane, was the perfect host and, alongside the sponsor and judges, presented the coveted trophies to mortgage brokers, lenders and technology providers who had proved themselves worthy winners based on their hard work, innovative approaches and pure professionalism over the last year, despite the challenging marketplace.
