Bob Hunt, chief executive of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “Those that perform consistently well will be rewarded not just with an award accolade but the opportunity to engage with our top business writers in those sectors.
“This is all about highlighting excellence and we believe it will not only showcase the best in our marketplace but will also encourage all lenders and providers who are not appearing in the monthly ‘best of’ charts to up their game in order to feature.”
Hunt said by doing so lenders and providers will be adding to the increased quality of the overall business environment.
Voting will take place each month in the categories listed below and will culminate in the inaugural Lender or Provider of the Year Awards at the end of 2014.
Best Residential Lender
Best Buy-to-let Lender
Best Specialist Lender
Best Equity Release Lender
Best Overall Lender
Best Life Protection Provider
Best General Insurance Provider
Best Critical Illness Provider
Best Income Protection Provider
Each month members will be invited to vote for their top three lenders and providers in each category.
The votes will be collated to provide the monthly winners providing an ongoing snapshot of advisers’ views of the consistency of lender and provider service excellence.
