Excellent way to showcase your business, says award-winner
Multi-award winning mortgage adviser Jen Taylor wants her fellow brokers to be bold and nominate for the New Zealand Mortgage Awards 2023.
Taylor (pictured above), the founder and director of Taylored Mortgages, was honoured with two accolades at the 2022 New Zealand Mortgage Awards in February. In the adviser awards category Taylor won Young Gun of the Year, while in the brokerage category her business was named New Mortgage Brokerage of the Year.
Taylor says winning two NZMAs was a great achievement for her team as she had only created the brand and opened her office in April 2021.

“It was an amazing feeling to be recognised at this level and it felt incredible to showcase Palmerston North as it is usually the metro’s that we see in the spotlight,” Taylor said. “When creating a brand and business, you put your heart and soul into it, so to get the recognition meant so much to me and my team.”
Nominations for the 2023 NZMAs are streaming in as excitement builds for what will be the first in-person awards night. Hosted by Key Media and supported by NZ Adviser, the awards will be held at the Hilton Auckland on Thursday, April 27, 2023. Nominations close on December 2.
Bluestone Home Loans and its white-label product Select is the event partner for the third consecutive year. Avanti Finance, Select, First Mortgage Trust and Prospa are also proud sponsors of the NZMAs.
Taylor said her advice to anyone who might be considering nominating for the New Zealand Mortgage Awards in 2023 was to go for it.
“It is such a great way to showcase your business and be recognised for all the hard work that we do behind the scenes that often people do not see,” she said. “Don’t be shy – get amongst it and apply. Show New Zealand what awesome things you and your team are up to.”
The third annual New Zealand Mortgage Awards will ensure mortgage advisers, BDMs and representatives from brokerages, lenders and service providers can get together for the first time and celebrate the best and brightest in the industry, after the pandemic prevented live events in 2021 and 2022.
