Robyn Hall, publishing director, said: “With a record number of entries and another sold out event our awards once again recognised and rewarded the best and brightest in the Scottish mortgage industry - individuals and businesses who stood out from their peers through their innovation and professionalism.

“This was our third awards event in Scotland and indeed our first awards lunch.

“After a successful event last year at Prestonfield House, it was good to see so many familiar faces as well as some new ones.

“The past 19 months have been challenging for us all so it was great to recognise those businesses that went above and beyond.

“We look forward to welcoming you all back in 2022 - watch this space.”
