Congratulations AMA Award Winners & Finalists!

October 30th, 2017

The Australian Mortgage Awards are amongst our industry’s most respected and prestigious, creating a benchmark for best-practice service standards and recognising many of the highest achievers. It was great to see so many Connective brokers amongst the finalists this year – thanks to those of you who joined us at the awards presentation and celebrated with us on the night.

We’re proud to be congratulating several Connective members amongst the winners this year. All of our brokers are high achievers when it comes to industry best-practice and service standards – however, these performances are a stand-out and deserve our recognition. Take a look at our list of finalists and winners below, and please join us in congratulating them.

Connective Wins too!

This year, Connective won Most Effective Online Presence for our Mercury IT Platform. We’re very proud to have been recognised for this award as the continuous improvement of the Mercury platform has been a big focus for the business.   Congratulations to Jon Meadows, Connective GM Technology and the IT Development Team for all their hard work.

This award also belongs to you, our broker members. It’s your continuing support and honest participation in the development of Mercury that helps us continually improve it to meet your needs, and keep it at the forefront of technology in the Australian mortgage broking industry.
