We are delighted to announce that HFA Mortgage & Protection has been named Medium Size Firm of the Year. Announced at the 2025 HLPartnership Awards held in Birmingham last week. This accolade places our firm at the pinnacle of the medium-sized mortgage broker category. A great achievement to be chosen within a network of over 1,000 advisers, supported by HLPartnership across England and Wales.  

To be selected from among such a large number of brokerages is a tremendous achievement. Over the past five years the firm has grown from a solo operation under Helen Ferneyhough into a team of more than 20 dedicated professionals. Recognition from our peers in a major industry network validates the hard work, client focus and strong growth trajectory we have delivered.

The awards evening in Birmingham was a special occasion. Many of the HFA team made the trip, eager to celebrate together and the moment our name was called came as a complete surprise. Helen commented:

“To be standing in Birmingham among so many outstanding firms and to hear HFA announced as the winner was a genuine surprise. We didn’t even know we’d been selected in the Medium Size Firm category until the evening. So to come away winning the award is such a great feeling. This award is a testament to the entire team, our clients and the culture we’ve built over the last five years. Always with our customer centric, supportive approach.”

This accolade not only recognises growth in numbers, but also excellence of service, professionalism and the commitment. It’s something we bring to every client relationship. It highlights our ambition to be a standout brokerage nationwide and within our network.
