Find out if you, or your company, could be celebrating on the big day
How excited are you for this year’s Australian Mortgage Awards 2021? After the year we’ve all had, and with so many of us enduring lockdown restrictions currently, we all need something to look forward to – and the biggest night on the Australian mortgage industry’s calendar, brought to you in association with event sponsor Westpac, seems like the perfect way to unwind and leave those troubles behind.
But, without doubt, the big event will be extra special if you, or one of your colleagues has a chance of walking away with one of the industry’s biggest prizes.
Now, in anticipation of the event, scheduled for The Star, Sydney, on October 15, both Mortgage Professional Australia and Australian Broker are proud to present this year’s Excellence Awardees. You can read the full list below and here.
