Nominations are well and truly underway for The Scottish Mortgage Awards 2025 – and it’s an amazing opportunity for you to become involved in something truly special, and to ensure that a spotlight shines on the most deserving industry talent north of the border.
The Awards celebrate the brightest and the very best in the Scottish mortgage sector, highlighting the hugely impressive achievements of those passionately committed to a truly thriving market.
A sparkling gala event at the prestigious Sheraton Grand will light up Edinburgh on June 19 next year, with Mortgage Introducer again sponsoring the evening, together with publisher KM Business Information.
Now established as a major highlight of Scotland’s mortgage calendar, it is an evening like no other, with scores of industry professionals paying tribute to the successes of their colleagues across the industry.
Hannah Walker (pictured right), national sales manager at LV= General Insurance, attended the event this year and recalls a memorable night.
“It was fantastic to be part of The Scottish Mortgage Awards in 2024 and it was one of the best events that I have attended this year,” Walker said. “As someone who looks after the regional account management team and is responsible for delivering regional initiatives and strategies it was fantastic to see the Scottish region singled out and celebrated for their successes and journeys so far.”
The Scottish Mortgage Awards is both a spectacular celebration and a first class networking opportunity. Guests will enjoy an arrival cocktail party, plus a delicious sit-down dinner and an inspiring awards ceremony.
It really is a glorious, affirming evening – and there is no time to waste if you’re keen to ensure that the Awards properly reflect the achievements of those who undoubtedly deserve to be celebrated for their great work. With nominations already open, you only have until January 24 to put someone forward – be it yourself, a colleague, a valued industry contact or, perhaps, one of your talented and high achieving employees.
A broad spectrum of awards will cover every facet of this very remarkable profession – from BDM of the Year to Rising Star of the Year (Broker), Business Leader of the Year (Lender) and Woman of Distinction. Sought after titles such as Broker of the Year across various regions, Best Overall Broker in Scotland, as well as Specialist Lender, Later Life lender and Distributor of the Year, are among the glittering prizes - along with many more accolades.
Beyond celebrating the industry’s regular day-to-day mortgage business, of course, the event will also take time to recognise the extraordinary good work that the sector does to help others within Scotland, with a very special award for Excellence in Philanthropy & Community Service.

The Scottish Mortgage Awards positively supports the sector
Hannah Walker celebrated an award for LV= General Insurance at the 2024 ceremony and clearly identifies with the spirit of the event.
“To be in a room full of advisers, firms and business leaders who are so passionate about the Scottish mortgage market, and to all support and positively impact this sector, was so valuable,” she enthusiastically observed. “Of course, to also then pick up the award for the best GI provider in the region was the icing on the cake. We cannot wait to be back again and defend our title!”
So, there is no time to waste. It’s time to stand up and be counted and to ensure that the true stars of the Scottish mortgage industry receive the recognition they deserve on the big night. Did a broker colleague particularly impress you this year, or did a lender’s BDM make all the difference to a particularly challenging case? Maybe there’s something you have achieved yourself recently that you think deserves attention – and which could scoop you a career-defining win.
It really is very easy to get involved and to make your mark on this highly memorable event, helping to shape a roll-call of honours at The Scottish Mortgage Awards next June. For more information and to make your nomination count, simply go to this link.
