Platform scoops industry award

Beating off strong competition from both BM Solutions and Abbey, the company also landed Best Product Innovator at the ceremony held at London's Claridge's Hotel last Thursday.

The award, which recognised Platform's aim to be the intermediaries' favourite lender, was voted for independently by a panel of intermediaries on behalf of The Mortgage Times Group.

Platform's key account manager Sara Green was also recognised for her efforts throughout the year with a nomination in the Account Manager of the Year category.

Christopher May, director of the Mortgage Times Group, said: "My congratulations go to Platform who have demonstrated incredible support to The Mortgage Times Group over the past year. We all know that the mortgage market is a highly competitive environment, so to win two awards is a great achievement. Platform's consistent approach to serving the needs of its customers has paid real dividends."

Guy Batchelor, sales & marketing director at Platform, said: "These awards are welcome recognition of an outstanding team effort. Everyone involved, from directors of the business through to our dedicated teams of account managers and underwriters, have played an important part in achieving this well deserved success. Special mention must also be made of Sara Green who has once again excelled in a role that is often hugely demanding."
