Methodology

The British Mortgage Awards are driven by people from across the whole of the UK mortgage industry. The winners are selected using a transparent two-tier process designed to make the selection as fair and independent as possible. The awards are open to people across the industry, from lenders to brokers, and associated services in the distribution chain. They are asked to either nominate their colleagues, business associates and themselves in any of the categories. All the nominations will be counted and a shortlist drawn up in each category. Testimonials supporting those on the shortlist are then collated which outline exactly why that person on the shortlist should win.

The second stage of the process involves a hand-picked group of senior industry experts who represent the full spectrum of the distribution model. This group who form the judging panel will come together on 1st June to discuss those on the shortlist, analyze the testimonials and ultimately decide the winners.

Two of the Awards are decided separately.

The first, Press Spokesperson of the Year award is chosen by the editorial team at Incisive Media and recognises the individual who has consistently championed the mortgage industry and, through their work with the media, have encouraged education and transparency to help raise consumer understanding of what is really happening in the UK mortgage market.

The second, our Lifetime Achievement Award is chosen by the Incisive publishing team and is given to the key industry figure who has made a significant contribution to the mortgage market above and beyond their day-to-day role over a significant number of years.
