Stage 1 – Nominations

The call for nominations is open to all mortgage professionals and organisations – including advisers, broker firms, distributors, lenders, BDMs and service providers – from across Scotland.

Nominations are open from Wednesday, 13 December to Friday, 1 March at 11:59pm UK time.

To submit a nomination, proceed to the Nominate page of this website. Submissions are free of charge.

Stage 2 – Research

Our new, dedicated in-house research team will validate each submission form, conduct research and draw on knowledge and information gained through Mortgage Introducer magazine to support and supplement submissions and ensure that no one deserving of recognition is missed. Excellence awardees (finalists) will be determined from both pools of information.

Stage 3 – Excellence Awardees (Finalists)

Once all nominations are considered and research is complete, excellence awardees will be selected in each category (except the Lifetime Achievement award) and notified via email or phone.

All submissions will remain confidential unless otherwise marked and will not be shared with any third parties other than our independent judging panel.

Excellence awardees will be officially announced in March 2024 on the event website and promoted on the Mortgage Introducer website and social media. Promo packages to leverage your achievement across your marketing channels will be available for purchase.

Stage 4 – Judging

All submissions from our excellence awardees are forwarded to the independent judging panel comprising of senior leaders from industry associations and marketing consultancies specialising in the UK mortgage sector. The panel will assess and vote for their winners in each category according to the relevant category criteria.

Voting will commence in April 2024 and their judgement will be impartial, balanced, incisive and fair. Any judge with a conflict of interest in a category will recuse themselves from judging that particular award.

Stage 5 – Winners

Using a simple points system to aggregate judges’ votes, the excellence awardee with the top score in a category will be named the winner.

Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 30 May and on this website. Promo packages to leverage your achievement across your marketing channels will be available for purchase.
