The top award of the night “National Branch of the Year” was awarded to Yellow Brick Road Sydney CBD. This is the second year in a row they have taken home the network’s top honour. An “Outstanding Branch Achievement” award was also given out to Yellow Brick Road Randwick achieving the greatest growth year on year (and coming in a close second to Yellow Brick Road Sydney for “National Branch of the Year”).

Individual awards were given out for the top performers for the second year in a row in lending and financial advice.  The “National Outstanding Performer Advice” was also taken out for the second year in a row by Arthur Vlanes of Yellow Brick Road Frankston and “National Outstanding Performer Lending” went to Rogan Yates of Yellow Brick Road Sydney CBD.

The National Young Gun awards are for the best performers within Yellow Brick Road that have been with the business for less than two years. The “Advice” young gun was awarded to Luke Shrewsbury of Yellow Brick Road Varsity Lakes/Robina and Hung Chuy of Yellow Brick Road Randwick took home the title for young gun “Lending.”

Yellow Brick Road also gave out awards to individuals that best demonstrated the “YBR Way” of taking care of all of their client’s financial needs. The “National Outstanding Performer YBR Way” went to John Cross of Yellow Brick Road Mona Vale.

Yellow Brick Road Chief Executive Officer Matt Lawler, said: “The past year has been an incredible period of growth for Yellow Brick Road. The level of achievement is unprecedented and whilst a number of winners held onto their titles they had other branches hot on their tails and will be challenged next year unless they step up again. These awards are becoming more and more competitive as we grow and develop.”

“I’m very proud of all our award winners. These are men and women who work hard to deliver on their mission to help locals achieve their financial hopes and dreams. I’m constantly impressed with their work ethic, dedication and am inspired by what they’ve achieved in such a short period of time,” he said.

Yellow Brick Road Executive Chairman Mark Bouris also inducted only one branch into the elite “Chairman’s Club”, which was created in 2011 to recognise consistently high performing branches and their achievements both from a business perspective and for their roles as leaders within the network. This year’s inductee was Fabian Restaino of Yellow Brick Road Varsity Lakes/ Robina.

“Our business model challenges our branches to grow and develop into trusted advisers for our cleints. These Awards showcase the very best of our talent,” Mr Bouris said.

“The market has been reported to be slowing down in the December quarter yet Yellow Brick Road had the highest settlements in our history. Our network will not be deterred. I’m regularly impressed with the branch owner’s passion to help every day Australian’s put a roof over their head and retire comfortably. Congratulations to all the award winners, nominees and network on your high achievement in 2015. I’m very proud to be part of the business we are building and look forward to working together reaching new heights in 2016 and beyond,” Mr Bouris said.
