Bridging Finance industry grinds to a halt

The theme was Casino Royale and the limited edition Summer Pavilion venue was the perfect complement with its red carpets, lush grassy expanses and decadent dining room.  During the summery drinks reception, time was spent alternating between soaking up the sunshine and heavily populating the Cheval-sponsored bar, marking just the beginning for certain distributors... The moment all had been waiting for arrived, that in which those who have done the sector proud are honoured and commended for their hard work and dedication to the broker community.  Hosted by Mo along with certain prominent figures within bridging and commercial finance and accompanied by an impressive display of production in video, music and lighting, the awards ceremony commenced.  A very proud United Trust Bank team were presented with the title of Service Excellence, an award which represents a vote of confidence from brokers in the respects of trust, reliability and unrivalled case management.  Alan Margolis, Head of Bridging, said: “We were thrilled to win the "Service Excellence" award at the hottest event of the year. UTB's bridging team knows the importance that brokers place on service and that is why winning this particular award means so much to us." Bridging Lender of the Year is the category most vied for and the competition was very tough amongst the five lenders nominated.  With Cheval having held onto the title for two years running, could they make it three?  Would Lancashire Mortgage Corporation’s willingness and flexibility come up trumps?  Or perhaps Masthaven would emerge triumphant, a solid institution in whom brokers trust.  West One’s dynamic approach and appetite to lend could mean a win... However, there could only be one.  2011 has seen this team immortalised in the headlines for completing a £2.5m deal in just 3 days, securing a quarter of a billion funding line and causing a veritable industry stir with their rebrand.   Voting brokers and the judging panel agreed that Dragonfly Property Finance have set the standard when it comes to delivering a service which is market-leading.  Jonathan Samuels, CEO of Dragonfly Property Finance, said: “We’re delighted to have won the main award and also the Best Product Range award.

Montblanc pen exhibition: something to write home about | The ...

Over the past twenty years the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award has been recognising those whose efforts have made artistic achievements possible through their patronage and support. To honour these remarkable men and women, Montblanc each year creates a limited edition pen awarded to the winner and also on sale to public.

The twenty models of pens created to date under this scheme are exhibited at Sotheby’s Bond Street premises. Pen lovers will be flocking to see the show that details the inspiration of the twenty designs that are linked to art patrons ranging from Semiramis to Lorenzo de Medici and Sir Henry Tate. The pens are made in two editions: one limited to 888 pieces made in precious materials such as gold and a second more accessible series of 4,810 pens (the number is not random: it is the height of the Montblanc mountain). Collectors strive to have the complete set of twenty, as seen by auctions prices for these pens.

This year, the UK winner is none other than Prince Charles, who will be receiving a ‘ Gaius Maecenas’ pen as well as 15,000 euro towards his charity of choice. This year’s pen, is inspired by the Ancient Roman, Gaius Cilnius Maecenas, the original patron himself who us considered by founding father of cultural patronage, who supported Horace, Virgil and Propertius amongst others. His name has come to mean ‘patron of the arts’ in many languages, including French, Italian, Spanish and even Japanese.

The body of the pen resembles a marble Roman column and inscribed on the cap is a sentence from the letter that the poet Horace wrote to Maecenas. A laurel wreath is engraved around the top ring of the cap and a miniaturised Roman coin  is inlaid into the base of the pen.
