Andy Young, chief executive officer at The Business Mortgage Company commented: "TBMC is delighted to have won the accolade of Best Commercial Mortgage Broker at the Mortgage Introducer Awards and it is especially valuable as the votes come from those who are most important to our business - mortgage brokers. 2007 has been an exceptional year for TBMC in terms of business growth and we have been highly focused on developing our Commercial mortgage proposition.
"The Commercial Team at TBMC has more than doubled in size since the beginning of the year and comprises of individuals specialising purely in commercial lending. The team is lead by Nick Reeves, a highly experienced commercial finance professional who has worked in the industry for over 20 years, and is a keen advocate of staff education and training. The whole of the Commercial Team is qualified to take commercial loan enquiries and cases move up through the team depending on the complexity of the case.
"Given the current state of the UK mortgage market, especially in the sub-prime sector, many intermediaries are looking for alternative revenue streams. There is great scope for intermediaries to benefit from commercial lending opportunities even if they have no experience in the market. TBMC offers a choice of service, allowing introducers to remain in control of the client relationship if they wish, or they can simply pass referral details to the Commercial Team who will deal directly with the client from start to finish.
"TBMC will continue to develop its commercial loan proposition in 2008 and has planned a series of workshops around the country to provide information and support to brokers who are looking to explore the significant opportunities available to them in this sector.
Thank you for acknowledging the achievement of TBMC’s Commercial Team this year. It is great to know that the effort and results have been recognised."
Angela Faherty, editor of Mortgage Introducer, with Paul Rockett and Nick Reeves of TBMC, and comedian Dominic Holland.
