Best specialist broker

blackandwhite.co.uk has defended its crown as Best Specialist broker in 2006 - no mean feat given the highly competitive specialist mortgage sector.

More than 80 per cent of blackanadwhite.co.uk's business mix is comprised of specialist or non-conforming mortgage business.

Christopher Ollerenshaw, chairman of blackandwhite.co.uk, said: "To win this coveted award two years running is just awesome. Our clients often have very challenging requirements, and specialised credit needs. Our face to face mortgage service is what gets results. We have an excellent sales team, backed by first class packaging, and it's a formula that works for us. Everyone here at B7W HQ has a spring in their step, we have done some hard yards as a team, and we are delighted to have won this award."
