The Best of the Best Welcome to the Mortgage Introducer Awards Supplement 2018. The team at Mortgage Introducer closed off 2018 with a bang with another spectacular awards ceremony, hosted by comedian John Robins, at the iconic Tower of London at the heart of the nation’s capital. In these ever changing and still turbulent times we felt that it was important to highlight all the great achievements that have been made over the past 12 months; recognising and rewarding the best and brightest in the UK mortgage industry, those individuals and businesses who stand out from their peers, through innovation, professionalism and sheer expertise. Of course, over the thousands of votes cast we managed to cut the wheat from the chaff and put together an occasion to celebrate the best of the best, the crème de la crème. And what a fun night it was. Bigger and better than our event in 2017, some 700 people where on hand to congratulate our 26 winners across categories ranging from Best Mortgage Lender (Barclays) to General Insurance Provider (Uinsure) and of course Best Mortgage Broker (Mortgage Advice Bureau) and Lifetime Achievement (Richard Adams of Stonebridge Group fame). In this special supplement we highlight the achievements of all our 26 winners and those shortlisted on the night and of course say a special thank you to all of our 70 judges, our fantastic sponsors and especially our headline sponsor Precise Mortgages. Our charity for 2018 was The Mortgage Sleep Out, helping to raise vital funds to support End Youth Homelessness, a national movement of local charities working with over 26,00 young people. EYH helps charities collaborate to increase awareness, share experience and generate voluntary income to deliver services that transform lives. Turn over the page and read on to find out who scooped what.

A proposition worth shouting about. At Newcastle Intermediaries we’re constantly improving our product range, criteria, pricing and service. This year we’ve broadened our product range to include Joint Mortgage Sole Proprietor, Interest Only, and are one of just a few lenders to offer both Help to Buy remortgage and staircasing options. We’ve also continued to provide Large Loans nationally, Buy-to-Let mortgages and work hard to help the newly self-employed secure a mortgage. We value your feedback to shape our proposition, which is designed to reflect your clients’ lifestyle today.
We’re here to prove it’s not just the big guys that can make a noise. But don’t just take our word for it.
