Broker News awards announced for 28 April
The first Broker News awards will be taking place at lunchtime on Friday 28 April in London. So put the date in your diary. We’re currently signing the event contract so we’ll let you know the venue shortly – but I’m sure you’ll love it.
There are 13 awards, ranging from Best Start Up and Best Volume Broker to Best SME Business Broker. Entries will be online and, best of all, the process will be simple. We’ll announce judges and sponsors in due course, along with details of the awards that you can enter. But first of all, mark that date in your diary.
