Scottish Mortgage Awards – winners revealed
Find out who walked away with the country’s biggest honours
Scotland was once again the epicentre of the mortgage industry last night as it grabbed the spotlight for the Mortgage Introducer Scottish Mortgage Awards 2024.
Held at the glitzy Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh, the festivities erupted after a day of education at the Scottish Mortgage Summit, also hosted by Mortgage Introducer. Despite a host of travel difficulties – with the rail network slamming shut due to a derailment in the Cumbria area – those north of the border flocked to the event and celebrated in style, led by host Hayley McQueen and the String Quartet.
But if you couldn’t be there and are wondering who scooped the night’s biggest prizes – or if you’re nursing a sore head and want to double check that award you woke up next to, really is yours – here is the full list of the night’s winners:
