The MFAA Excellence Awards ceremony for South Australia and the Northern Territory was held last night where over 80 finalists battled it out for 18 trophies at the Adelaide Oval event.
These awards celebrate MFAA members who demonstrate exceptional qualities in customer service, professionalism, ethical conduct, business growth, and innovation.
“Our members do outstanding work every day, and the awards are a chance to celebrate their achievements,” said MFAA CEO Anja Pannek. “The standard of submissions we received was exceptional, and I would like to acknowledge all our finalists and congratulate all winners.”
At the awards ceremony, Steven Toome from Port Lincoln Home Loans won Regional Finance Broker Award, Smita Vira from Mortgage Choice in St Peters received the Residential Finance Broker Award, and Stephen Warner from Finance Partners was recognised with the Young Professional Award (all pictured above left to right).
