Including the Commercial team's first win in the direct awards space…

The Commercial Mortgages team within Shawbrook’s Property Finance division has picked up “Bridging Lender of the Year” at the 2016 What Mortgage Awards. On the same night their colleagues within Property Finance, the Residential Mortgages team picked up “Best Secured Loans Lender” for the third year running, their second award in as many months following the Moneyfacts Awards in June.

Voted for by property investors and landlords, this is Shawbrook Commercial’s first awards win in the direct to customer space and continues a successful first half of the year for the Commercial team.

Having first scooped “Best Commercial Mortgage Provider” for the second year in a row at the Business Moneyfacts Awards in March, this was followed by winning “Commercial Lender of the Year” for the third year running at the Bridging & Commercial Awards in June.

Shawbrook’s Short Term Loan (STL) offering is a mere four years old but in that time, the Commercial team has developed a product range which has been recognised as providing competitive bridging finance options.

Emma Cox, Sales Director for Shawbrook Commercial is thrilled by winning “Bridging Lender of the Year”:

“Whilst being a relatively young player in the bridging finance sector, this triumph at What Mortgage Awards acknowledges the sterling work done by both Shawbrook lending teams and our panel of Broker Partners on behalf of their clients, our customers. It is a pleasure to win but our hard work does not stop there. We are committed to developing our short term and bridging products in line with market conditions, as well as research conducted with both our brokers and our customers.

“We pride our ability to listen to investors and landlords, seeking all forms of feedback in order to improve both the product offering and personalised service which our customers receive. When allied with the expertise and dedication of our Broker Partners, we will strive to continue providing positive outcomes for the professional investor community.”

Maeve Ward, Managing Director of Residential Mortgages commented on winning “Best Secured Loans Lender”:

“I am thrilled that this is the third year running that we have won this award, and that we have been recognised by customers to be the best in our field. Proving once again that our diverse product range and exceptional service are not only a hit within the broker market, but with customers too.”

Lucy Hodge, Managing Director of Shawbrook Strategic Broker Partner Vantage Finance added:

“We have worked closely with Shawbrook’s Commercial Mortgages team for a number of years now, often in the bridging finance space.

“What we have seen from Shawbrook in that time is an ongoing commitment to the interests of all types of property investors. Their short term and bridging products have become increasingly efficient and bespoke over time, and they are always one of the first lenders we think of when speaking to our clients. This award is a just and timely recognition of the hard work and expertise demonstrated by Shawbrook’s lending teams and senior management, day-in, day-out.”
