Mortgage Choice recognises top 2009 performers with Business Excellence and High Flyers awards

Mortgage broker franchise group, Mortgage Choice is pleased to announce the winners of its 2009 awards for excellence. The group contains top-performing franchisees and one loan writer who will be sent to Las Vegas on a well-deserved break.

Recipients of the Business Excellence Award (BEA) and High Flyers (most impressive franchisees in terms of value and number of loans) received high praise for their success during 2009 at the 2010 National Conference, held by the mortgage broker franchise company in Melbourne’s Crown Complex from 14 to 16 January.

Michael Russell, CEO of the mortgage consultant franchise group, said, “Our annual conference is the pinnacle event of our professional development calendar, not only for the franchise network and our staff but also for our lender sponsors and key suppliers. Hence, it offers the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the exceptional business performance and achievements of our nationwide network.”

“In what has been a tough year, the 2009 honour roll encompasses a diverse and well-deserving group of high achievers, each of whom have strengthened their business plans and determinedly maintained their high level of service despite the challenges faced.

“The Business Excellence Awards, of which High Flyers is a part, acknowledged the superior work of frequent high achievers as well as that of those who are newcomers to really making their mark.

He continued to explain that Mortgage Choice is proud of the passion and commitment shown by the top franchisees and loan writers. The mortgage broker franchise group clearly demonstrates the dedication and determination required to meet customers’ needs with high quality servicing and to be a successful community-minded mortgage broker. Many of the winners achieved impressive milestones year on year and continue to perform well above expectations.
