Dearlove, of AWD Finance based in Leicester, has won a £10,000 shopping spree at Harrods. Dearlove’s name was drawn from a shortlist of 45 former winners of Mortgages plc’s monthly draw, which included all intermediaries who registered to use its On Demand online trading system.
The Grand prize draw took place at London Mortgage Business Expo and Richard was handed details of his Harrods shopping spree by Mortgages plc's head of marketing Julian Wells.
Dearlove not only has £10,000 to spend at Harrods, but he and a partner will also be transported to and from their home in a chauffeur driven luxury car, are being put up for two nights in a luxury West End hotel and will also have dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, MAZE.
Dearlove said: "I’m completely bowled over by this prize. Winning the monthly draw was fantastic but this is going to be a weekend I never forget. I know online mortgage systems make life easier but never did I think they would also make me so much richer. I certainly don’t need to worry too much about Christmas presents this year. Many thanks to Mortgages plc – what a great prize."
Julian Wells, head of marketing at Mortgages plc, said: "Congratulations to Richard from everyone at Mortgages plc. This prize is the culmination of a ten-month campaign to promote our online mortgage system, On Demand. The campaign has been a great success and 25 per cent of our business is now being submitted online."
