Congratulations once again to all our nominees.
The finalists who make it onto the shortlist in each category will be asked to submit a supporting testimonial based on the following criteria:
– Key achievements the individual has delivered in the last 12 months
– Key strengths which deliver value to their role and the marketplace they serve
– Any positive contributions made to the wider specialist intermediary market beyond the contribution to their business performance
Our finalists will next be judged by a respected industry panel, which will assess the testimonials and ultimately decide the winners.
For more information see the British Specialist Lending Awards 2018 website.
We’ll see you on the 16 May at the glittering awards ceremony, hosted by Specialist Lending Solutions and AE3 Media.
