Whilst COVID has put pay to our physical award ceremonies, the Association remains keen to recognise all the industry excellence that has continued despite the virus. The NACFB has elected to merge both the NACFB Patron Awards and the Commercial Broker Awards into one big celebration of lending and broking excellence.
The single ceremony will take place virtually from 4pm on Thursday 26th November. The shortlist for both awards can be found below. Registration to the single November ceremony is free and can be found here.
Best of luck to all the Members and Patrons shortlisted.
