The 2016 Debt Review Awards Winners

The Awards results this year were drawn from an industry wide peer review process. The process called on various parts of the industry to review and rate their opposite numbers on the other side of the industry in regard to various core functions.  The process was completed online. The results were then compiled and audited and then the winners were announced, at the annual Debt Review Awards Gala held in Cape Town in June 2016.
