THe judging process
The judging process for this year’s Commercial Lender Awards combines the insight of an expert judging panel with votes from the NACFB broker community.
A panel of industry experts will review all submissions for this year’s awards to confirm a working shortlist.
After this, the shortlist will be announced on the week of Monday 16th October and the NACFB will then invite Member brokers to cast their votes for Patrons or Partners of choice. Voting will remain open for one week, from Tuesday 17th October until Tuesday 24th October.
The judging panel’s scores will be combined with the Members votes to confirm each winner and highly commended organisations.
All winners will be announced at an in-person ceremony at the Westminster Park Plaza on Thursday 30th November 2023. You can secure your tickets here.
