Third: Vantage
Andy Young, chief executive officer at The Business Mortgage Company commented: "TBMC is delighted to have won the title of Best Commercial Packager at the Mortgage Introducer Awards in 2007. This is a great accolade to the continuing hard work that all of the staff at TBMC have put into delivering an excellent service to intermediaries. TBMC has experienced significant growth in its mortgage processing business both in Buy to Let and Commercial mortgages and has concentrated its efforts on delivering high service standards.
"TBMC has implemented several operational changes this year in order to maximise the skill sets of staff and to provide a more efficient and effective service to its business introducers. We have also provided frequent training opportunities in order to increase lender and product knowledge across the company.
"The Commercial Team at TBMC comprises of individuals focused solely on commercial lending and is lead by Nick Reeves, a commercial finance professional with over 20 years experience in the industry. The Commercial Team provides a fees free commercial broking service to intermediaries, which includes packaging cases from start to finish. This service is proving popular with brokers who have no previous experience in the commercial mortgage market, which can often be more complex than the residential mortgage market.
"Commercial mortgages provide a great opportunity for brokers who are looking to diversify their business, particularly in the current climate when other income streams, such as sub-prime mortgages, are seeing a significant downturn. By using TBMC’s referral service, intermediaries can reap the benefits of transacting commercial mortgage business without having any expertise in this field.
"TBMC will remain focused on developing its commercial loan proposition in 2008, developing the knowledge of its staff and maintaining high service standards.
"Thank you for voting for TBMC as Best Commercial Packager - it is fantastic to know that we are delivering a service that brokers appreciate."
