🏆 WE’VE BEEN NOMINATED! 🏆
Well, this was a rather lovely surprise to receive today… 💎
Gemstone Mortgages has been nominated for ‘Professional Service of the Year’ at the Colchester Business Awards 2026! 🥹
And this one feels particularly special…
Gemstone was born in Colchester 10 years ago. We started small (very small… just me 💁🏼♀️😂), and over the years we’ve grown into the team we are today. Colchester has always remained at the heart of what we do ❤️
Our clients are here. Our office is here. We support local events, charities and businesses here. And we’ve been incredibly lucky to have a local community that has supported us right back 🫶🏻
The ‘Professional Service of the Year’ award recognises businesses that deliver trusted expertise, outstanding client care and consistently high standards - and I can’t think of a better reflection of what our team strives to deliver every single day.
They care. A LOT!
They push themselves, they support each other, they genuinely care about every client who walks through our doors, and they are constantly driving Gemstone to be better 🩵
So to whoever nominated us… THANK YOU!!
Now comes the bit where we shamelessly ask for your help… 😂
The award is decided by PUBLIC VOTE! 🤪
Voting opens on 1st August and you can only vote once.
⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT - please don’t get overexcited and vote early 😂 Votes submitted before 1st August will not count.
When voting opens, we would be unbelievably grateful if our clients, friends, local businesses and lovely Colchester community would give Gemstone Mortgages their vote. I will share the link and shout about this again on the 1st of August 😜
For now, we’re just going to enjoy being nominated 🥹
10 years of Gemstone.
10 years in Colchester.
And still just as proud to call this city home 💎❤️
