British Money is a multi-award winner

Inspirational Business Leader Award

“The presentation of a Crème de la Crème Award to Simon Burgess is a fitting accolade for a person, who in our view, is a world-class business leader. He is forward-thinking and progressive and has that rare ability to foresee market trends and pitch his business accordingly. Simon has a pioneering spirit, an inherent sense of honesty and fairness, plus a desire to safeguard the interests of consumers. This has resulted in British Money receiving an unprecedented number of awards. Simon represents the very best in business excellence and is undoubtedly worthy to join the elite list of Crème de la Crème recipients.”
David Atherton, Judge, Crème de la Crème Awards

Outstanding Consumer Champion Award

“Sara-Ann Burgess has for years fought to secure a better deal for consumers and expose the mis-selling practices of others. She has been instrumental in building the profile of independent providers, enabling consumers to make an informed decision about the options available to them. It is very rare to find someone with such passion and determination.”
Ben Wilkie, Editor, Personal Finance Awards

Ambassador Award

“Sara-Ann Burgess has lobbied tirelessly to ensure that consumers are better informed about their purchases. She has worked alongside organisations such as Competition Commission and the Office of Fair Trading to ensure that mis-selling practises are prevented. She embodies fairness, value and honesty.”
Joanne Atkin, Editor, Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards

Outstanding Customer Service Award

“Outstanding Customer Service is about meeting customers’ needs and British Money always puts customers first. It ploughs profit back into its products and provides benefits and support services that competitors can only aspire to. Simplistically delivered online, customers can make informed choices – exactly as they should do. No wonder British Money gets our vote.”
Ramesh Sharma, Managing Director, Complete Guide to Home Buying Awards

Best Customer Service Award

“How customers are treated is an important aspect of these awards. Readers are asked to base their nominations on their experiences with a company, as well as price and products. The importance of customer service must never be underestimated. British Money out-performs its competitors and yet again has been singled out for its exceptional customer service.”
Nia Williams, Editor, Mortgage Introducer Awards

Personal Excellence Award

“Sara-Ann Burgess stood out both because of her personal integrity and because of her unerring focus on putting the customer first. Her achievement was driven by transparent products and an uncompromising attention to providing excellent service every time. She proved beyond doubt that an ethical approach can deliver outstanding commercial success.”
Andrew Areoff, Judge, The Money Awards

Ethical Business Award

“Yet again British Money is ahead of the pack. It has a market-leading, ethical, socially responsible portfolio that protects the vulnerable within British Society. A worthy winner that put ethics ahead of profit.”
Mike Harrison, Publisher, What Mortgage Awards

Outstanding Personal Achievement Award

“Simon Burgess intuitively knows what consumers need and he played an invaluable role in making his socially responsible product portfolio easily accessible to people who would otherwise struggle financially. He is a natural leader and a man with ‘vision’ – this sets him apart from his peers.”
Jonathan Ball, Editor, Investment International Finance Awards

Best Product Provider Award

“British Money continues to push back boundaries and deliver more-inclusive products and services than any other provider in its field. It consistently blazes a trail, is never afraid to challenge its peers, or question their ethics or performance. British Money is in a minority by developing products that meet the needs of all consumers, particularly those who are vulnerable and struggle financially.”
Abbi Filer, Judge, British Business Awards

Best Customer Focus Award

“It’s very rare to find a business that puts the theory of ‘making products accessible and affordable to all’ into practise. British Money not only explains the benefits to be gained from its portfolio but puts in place mechanisms to allow customers to easily access the products most appropriate to their needs. No jargon, just an honest simplistic, accessible approach that really does show a customer focus ahead of its rivals.”
Howard Mckenzie, Judge, Best Business Awards

Best Insurance Distributor Award

“I am very pleased to confirm that Mortgage Strategy Magazine has awarded Simon Burgess with the award for ‘best insurance distribution’. Simon Burgess is both a consumer champion and leading provider of mortgage payment protection insurance and received the most nominations from reader of our magazine.

This is a significant achievement that reflects the very high regard in which Simon Burgess is held by his fellows within the mortgage and insurance industries.”
Robyn Hall, Editor, Mortgage Strategy

Outstanding Personal Achievement Award

“Sara-Ann Burgess is widely considered to be a leading authority in her field and has for years sought to abolish anti-competitive practises and secure a better deal for consumers. This award is testament to her efforts. The judges were impressed with the way British Money has harnessed the power of online technology to deliver quality products at competitive prices. This coupled with a no-nonsense approach to business and excellent customer service makes for a powerful proposition.”
David Connor, Judge, Best Business Awards

Outstanding Customer Service Award

“When a company professes to delivering ‘outstanding customer service’ there is usually an element of the business that fails to substantiate this. However, in the case of British Money, it really does ring true. Customer service is a mantra that resonates across the whole of its business – the fact it has never received a product or service complaint is testament to this. A very well-deserved accolade demonstrating outstanding products and services, support staff and technology.”
Nick Fettiplace, Judge, Global Business Excellence Awards

Best Insurance Broker Award

“I can confirm that Mortgage Magazine has awarded Simon Burgess the title ‘Best Insurance Broker’ for growing his company’s reputation as a reliable, trustworthy and socially responsible provider of Mortgage Insurance.

We aim to be independent, unbiased and completely transparent and pride ourselves of the fact that The Mortgage Magazine Awards are judged externally each year by a panel made up of 21 leading mortgage brokers and independent financial advisers.

The judging criteria includes the quality of insurance products and customer service to both new and existing customers.”
Ben Wilkie, Editor, Mortgage Magazine

Corporate Social Responsibility Award

“The Judges applaud British Money’s inclusive products that recognise everyone has a right to financial protection, whatever their financial situation. They also commend the fact that having developed products that meet the needs of more consumers, British Money is encouraging other providers to follow its lead and adopt a similar, more inclusive, stance.”
Sally Garvey, Judge, Global Business Excellence Awards
