Loan Market’s Bruce Patten has come in runner up in the 2009 New Zealand Mortgage Brokers Association Broker of the Year award which was presented last Friday. In addition to being named the national runner up, Bruce, a regular finalist in the New Zealand mortgage broking industry’s prestigious yearly awards, was named Broker of the Year for the Greater Auckland region for an amazing fifth time. Loan Market’s Gopal Sreenivasan was also a finalist on the night in the Mid-Central Auckland region. Although unfortunately not winning his region, Gopal’s recognition as a finalist is well-deserved and highlights the professionalism and dedication with which he operates on a daily basis.
