The NMA Awards, launched in 2017 by FSE organisers Front Events, is open to all adviser firms in the UK, regardless of size, and will seek to recognise those businesses who provide exceptional service, demonstrate innovation, and go beyond the call of duty for their clients.

James Prosser, MD of Front Events, said: “Last year it was a great feeling watching advisers from the length and breadth of the country recognised for the work that they do - and we’re looking forward to seeing a new crop of winners awarded this year.
“Financial advice is part and parcel of some of the biggest decisions in people’s lives, from retirement to buying a home, and we want the NMA Awards to give credit to those who do this job well - and who go the extra mile to provide brilliant service.”
Alan Cleary, managing director of Precise Mortgages commented: “I am very happy to be a judge as I like to see awards that recognise individuals. Most awards focus on the firms so this is a welcome change.”
Ian Andrew, managing director for intermediary sales at Nationwide, added: “Nationwide and TMW are delighted to be involved in the judging process for the National Mortgage Adviser Awards and would like to wish all nominated brokers the very best of luck.”
