RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE IS THE INTERMEDIARY MARKET

DAVID FINLAY, INTERMEDIARY BUSINESS DIRECTOR BARCLAYS

So the first season of Top of the League is finally at a close and to celebrate on my right is every Player and Manager of the Month over the last nine months. Well done again to all our winners.

I’ve been delighted with the number and breadth of nominations we received. The idea behind Top of the League was to acknowledge the
contribution the broker community has made to the industry. Being a broker is not just about selling mortgages and making money but also about adding value to your community whether that is employment, charity work or other things that often go unseen or unheard.

Winners were assessed by four different criteria.

Company -helping to make your company profitable
Colleague - helping your colleagues to excel
Community - helping your local or intermediary community
Doing the best for clients.

Along with the prizes the winners received, they were invited to a special dinner with three top football legends. For the first half of the season we had Matt Le Tissier and Osvaldo Ardiles and for the winners of the second half we had Ray Wilkins. This was an opportunity for legends in the mortgage world to meet legends of the footballing world and it did not disappoint. I’m looking forward to discovering more talent and crowning more winners next season.

GETTING RECOGNISED FOR ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE

TOTL will return next season but with some exciting changes to be announced shortly within the pages of Mortgage Strategy. Once more we will be looking for the best of the best in the broker market - do you or your colleagues consistently exceed your company’s sales targets or have you raised a significant amount of money for charity? Have you revolutionised your company to improve sales? Don’t hide your light under a bushel - make sure you get in touch with TOTL once the new season begins.
