BC Licensed Insolvency Trustees Sands & Associates is proud to announce that we have been voted as the winners of the Consumer Choice Award for best Licensed Insolvency Trustee in the Vancouver and Abbotsford regions.
Sands & Associates has now won this distinguished award for nine consecutive years – ever since the category of Licensed Insolvency Trustee was added to Consumer Choice Awards in Vancouver and the lower mainland. In 2020 Consumer Choice Award added a separate category for Abbotsford and its greater region for the first time, which has also now been won by Sands & Associates.
“It’s been an honour to be awarded the Consumer Choice Award for our ninth consecutive year. We consider this a real testament to the caring and empathetic team we have at Sands & Associates as we try to approach helping each client as if they were a member of our own family. We’re also thrilled to be chosen as the first-ever recipients of the award in Abbotsford, this is very validating of our Abbotsford team’s connection within their community, and of course their commitment to great client service and support.” – Blair Mantin, Sands & Associates Vice-President and Licensed Insolvency Trustee
