The latest 2022 MFAA State Excellence Awards has celebrated the best brokers and lenders in NSW and the ACT across 18 categories.
The in-person event was held at Sydney’s Fullerton Hotel on Thursday night following two years of virtual ceremonies. The NSW and ACT awards are the last of the five MFAA state award events held nationwide between May and June.
Last night’s winners included Louisa Sanghera (pictured above left), who runs Sydney brokerage Zippy Financial. Sanghera won the Residential Finance Broker Award. Ashleigh Pakis (pictured above right), of Goulburn-based Panache Financial Mortgage Specialist, received the Young Professional Award.
MFAA CEO Mike Felton said the awards recognised those members who had excelled in areas including customer service, professionalism, ethics, growth and innovation.
“We received a phenomenal number of nominations for the MFAA Excellence Awards this year, which made a difficult task for our judges but is also indicative of a successful, vibrant and rapidly growing industry,” Felton said.
“To be able to celebrate the achievements of our members, and our industry, in-person once again has been wonderful, particularly as the industry can now look up and look ahead to the future with some certainty after emerging from years of examination and successful implementation of reform.”
