Awards take into account the opinions of 8,000 customers and 500 mortgage brokers.
The “Best Industry Thought Leader” award recognises the individual in the Australian mortgage market that is best able to act as a spokesperson for the industry.
The person is able to clearly articulate the desired direction of the industry and to draw upon best practice from around the globe that is applicable to the Australian context.
Heidi, the founder of State Custodians Australia's Non-Bank, said she accepted the award on behalf of all the people who have demanded a better deal from their home loan provider.
“I’m passionate about educating Australians about lending and their rights as a mortgage holder,” Ms Armstrong said.
“It’s only through that education process that customers can better appreciate the variety of options open to them. I love empowering consumers with information about how they can potentially save thousands of dollars on their mortgages."
