Best Buy-to-Let Packager

Winner: em-

Second: AToM
Third: Optoma

em- is delighted to be awarded the honour of Best Buy-to-Let Packager’ at the 2007 Mortgage Introducer Broker & Packager Awards.

Mike Nicholson, head of operations at em- who collected the gong at the awards ceremony commented: “"We would like to thank all those who voted for us – it’s a real honour to be recognised for such a significant portion of the business we do through the services and products we provide.”

This recognition is fantastic news and is warmly received by our staff; whose hard work, support and commitment to em- has helped us to shine through this tough time - I'm confident our achievements will continue throughout 2008.

During this turbulent time for the non-conforming sector, the customer remains at the heart of em-‘s philosophy. Although the industry is bearing the brunt of constant rate and criteria changes from lenders keen to protect themselves in the current climate, dedicated em- staff have persistently gone the extra mile to ensure applications are promptly processed and submitted to offer. This not only delivers a swift mortgage offer to clients, but also guarantees them the initial lower rate.

em-‘s ongoing investment in technology - particularly its online processes such as the newly enhanced ‘Minuteman’ - has enabled us to rise head and shoulders above our competitors. Minuteman, em-‘s exclusive online 24 hour product-sourcing system, requires basic criteria to source all the possible matching deals from over 18,000 products. The system ultimately provides intermediaries simple access to their perfect product solution, at the click of a mouse.

em-‘s continual focus on consolidating its existing proposition through the enhancement and implementation of its processing systems, combined with an all-encompassing portfolio of products and services, will only serve to strengthen our future offering."
