Bob Young, Chief Executive Officer of Fleet Mortgages, commented:

“I’m obviously delighted, and very proud, that Fleet Mortgages has won the ‘Employer of the Year’ Award at the Inspire Business Awards 2016. It is a fantastic achievement for us all, with intense competition for the award, and I think shows exactly what we’ve achieved as a business together over the past two years since we were established. Given the relative infancy of our business, to receive recognition like this says a huge amount about the team we have assembled at Fleet. We have always prided ourselves on our ability to support and nurture staff, to ensure it’s a work environment that people can buy into in and excel in, and where they are rewarded for all their hard work. This Award is the icing on the cake for 2016 and gives us all a real boost as we motor into 2017 and beyond.”
