Congratulations to our BBA Finalists!

January 21st, 2019

 

The Better Business Awards bring us together to celebrate the achievements of the mortgage broking industry and recognise our most outstanding industry participants. The winners will be announced at the Better Business Award Dinners in February and March, following the Better Business Summit held in each state.

We’re very pleased to see so many Connective members and staff make it through to the final judging rounds. Please join us in congratulating them and wish them the best of luck to take home the prize on the night.
