The Adviser is pleased to announce over 20 winners across NSW and the ACT for the 12th annual Better Business Awards, run in partnership with principal partner National Australia Bank (NAB).
NSW and the ACT mortgage and finance broking professionals gathered tonight (3 April) at the Hyatt Regency Sydney for the annual Better Business Awards 2025.
Australian comedian Mark Humphries was the emcee, providing light and laughter for the awards program, which has set the benchmark for excellence in the broking industry for more than a decade while celebrating the trailblazers advancing the industry.
A total of 22 winners took home trophies, including the prestigious Broker of the Year and Editor’s Choice awards.
More than 170 finalists battled it out across both individual and group categories, with the highest-scoring individual winner being crowned the coveted Broker of the Year award.
In NSW and the ACT, the winner of the Broker of the Year award was Alex Veljancevski of Eventus Financial, who also walked away with the Best Customer Service (Individual) award earlier in the evening.
Other individual winners included Aimee Bergan of APC Home Loans as New Broker of the Year, Duane Mengel of Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour as Best Regional Broker, and Natalie Viney of Connective as Best Aggregator BDM.
Ashley Churchill of Mortgage Smart was awarded the Editor’s Choice award.
Group winners included Birdie Wealth as Best Customer Service (Office), Home Loan Experts as Best Large Non-Franchise Office, and The Lenders Club as Best New Office.
The full list of winners recognised the breadth of talent across the industry, including brokers, brokerages, loan administrators, business development managers (BDM), large and boutique franchise, and non-franchise offices, as well as industry thought leaders and mentors.
Winning one of the coveted Better Business Awards is a prestigious accolade offering the potential to propel participants’ careers to new heights. The gala ceremony also provided a unique opportunity for attendees to network with industry leaders and peers.
