AOBP launches Northern Broker Event

The AOBP is proud to announce the launch of its very first Northern Broker Event.

Taking place on 13th October 2015 in Manchester, the event is being hosted as a result of the AOBP’s diverse and growing membership. Having traditionally held its Association gatherings in London, the Executive Committee felt it was time to show our commitment to brokers who are based further afield.

Guests – AOBP members may register to attend free of charge – can look forward to networking with the bridging and specialist markets’ elite and listening to presentations by a selection of Association members, including five specialist short term lenders.
The event starts at 4pm at The Midland Hotel and the programme for the day is as follows:

• 4pm – 5pm: Welcome tea and coffee and networking
• 5pm – 6pm: Presentations, featuring Hope Capital, Blemain Group, Affirmative Finance, United Trust Bank and Funding 365, as well as our newest Affiliate member and compliance partner SimplyBiz on the importance of authorisation and why the time to act is now
• 6pm – 7pm: Drinks and networking
AOBP Chairman Rob Jupp urges members to attend this inaugural occasion.
“We have listened to the membership and are looking forward to extending our presence and efforts outside of the South East. I encourage all members to make the effort to attend this event to meet existing and potential lender and introducer partners.”

A few words from the official event sponsors:

“Hope Capital is proud to be working with the AOBP on the Northern Broker Event and helping it become a permanent fixture in the bridging calendar for years to come.” – Jonathan Sealey, Director, Hope Capital

“As one of the North West’s leading lenders and longstanding members of the AOBP, we’re delighted to be sponsors of their inaugural Northern Broker Event. It offers a great networking opportunity for all the bridging professionals across the region and beyond, and we’re very much looking forward to it.

“It’s a testament to how strong the North West is within the sector that the first AOBP event to be held outside London will be in Manchester, and with around 100 brokers expected to attend, it’s certain to be a really interesting event.” – Marc Goldberg, Commercial Director, Blemain Group

“We are very proud to be part of the AOBP’s first Northern Broker Event and hope it is the first of many. There is a significant amount of business to be written in these regions and it is extremely important that brokers and intermediaries are given direct and unfettered access to lenders and their decision makers. The event will be a huge success.” – Gary Lederberg, Director, Affirmative Finance

“As a lender who actively seeks out bridging opportunities outside of the South East, we’re delighted to be supporting the inaugural AOBP Northern Broker Event and we look forward to enhancing our relationship with this thriving area.” – Mike Strange, Managing Director, Funding 365

“UTB’s Bridging Department is pleased to support the AOBP Northern Broker Event which will provide an excellent opportunity to form new relationships with more northern-based members of the broker community.” – Alan Margolis, Head of Bridging, United Trust Bank
