Best commercial broker to be crowned at industry event

This year’s luncheon event, thanks to principal partner Commonwealth Bank, will see individuals and corporates vying for top honours across 24 categories.

Among the categories will be an award for the Commercial Broker of the Year.

This award recognised the broker that specialises in commercial finance and is best servicing the commercial borrowing needs of their clients.

The award is based on broker business metrics (including but not limited to volumes, loan book, and conversion rates) plus broker submission.

To enter, you must have been specialising in commercial finance during the period from 1 July 2014 – 30 June 2015.

Other awards include the coveted Broker of the Year title, Finance Broker of the Year and Major Brokerage of the Year.

Jim Hall, head of mortgages and real estate at Sterling Publishing – the publisher of The Adviser – said competition will be hotter than ever at this year’s awards ceremony.

“The Australian Broking Awards continue to be the benchmark for professionalism, dedication and business success,” he said.

“Finalists really can claim to be at the forefront of this fast-changing and dynamic industry, and those that are recognised benefit greatly in what is a highly competitive marketplace.

“This year I expect even stiffer competition, considering the exceptionally high level of talent I’ve recently witnessed [while] travelling across Australia.”

The winners of the 2016 Australian Broking Awards will be revealed at The Star, Sydney on Friday 1 July.

Submissions for the Australian Broking Awards close on 29 April 2016.

Groups and brokers can nominate themselves or can alternatively be nominated by third parties.
