SUPPORTED BY
CONGRATULATIONS to all our finalists in this inaugural running of the Broker News Awards.
We’ve designed these awards to highlight excellence in the leasing broker sector.
And boy! Were those entries good. I have to say, most of the categories were fiercely contested – none more so than the Best CV Broker which is why we have four shortlisted in that category – and those that miss out from our awards finalists have done so only by slim margins in the majority of cases.
I find it heartening that the quality of the submissions, and the customer-centric approach to the market, is so high.
We’re all looking forward to the Broker News Awards ceremony which takes place on 28 April at London’s Orrery Restaurant and meeting all our shortlisted finalists. I’ll see you there.
