The event’s most prestigious award, Operator of the Year, was awarded to two companies – Horizon Financial and Mildura Finance.
The industry body’s chief executive officer Phil Naylor said the awards recognised the outstanding contribution of both companies and individuals to the finance industry.
“Despite coming on the back of an incredibly tough financial year, I am pleased to say that the mortgage and finance industry is faring well as reflected in the record number of awards submissions the MFAA received this year,” Mr Naylor said.
“This coupled with the fact that it is the first time we have had two joint winners for the Operator of the Year category should reassure consumers’ confidence in the extremely high standards expected from our members.”
The MFAA awards are representative of the whole industry and recognise individuals, small to medium companies, and large corporations.
