Trade bodies line up to debate mortgage market at FSE London

22 August 2018

Front Events, organisers of Financial Services Expo (FSE) London, the premier exhibition for the financial services industry in London & the South East, has today (22nd August 2018) announced the full seminar programme for the event.

FSE London will take place once again at Old Billingsgate in the heart of the City of London on Wednesday 12th September, with a selection of major industry players lined up to debate key issues.

One of the key debates will be the ‘Meeting of trade body minds’ in which six representatives from the leading industry trade bodies will discuss the mortgage and housing market, specifically focusing on the FCA’s Mortgages Market Study Interim Report and its potential ramifications for all stakeholders.

Taking part are, Jim Boyd (Equity Release Council), Jackie Bennett (UK Finance), Paul Broadhead (Building Societies Association), John Barrass (PIMFA), Robert Sinclair (AMI), and Kate Davies (IMLA).

Also included in the seminar programme is a mortgage panel debate featuring a number of high-street lender representatives – Chris Pearson (HSBC), Esther Dijkstra (Lloyds) and Ian Andrew (Nationwide) – plus Peter Brodnicki (Mortgage Advice Bureau) and James Tucker (Twenty7Tec). The panel will cover the outlook for the mortgage market during the rest of 2018 and beyond, the opportunities for advisers, and how technology can support advisory practices in an uncertain market.

The seminar programme has once again been put together by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI), and media partner, Financial Reporter.

There are two other sessions taking place with many of the industry’s leading names discussing a wide range of topics and answering questions on those areas. The other sessions are:

New-build – how advisers can get involved and support clients from Douglas Cochrane of Lloyds.
Specialist lending panel – what happens next and where. Five experts debate the key issues in the growing number of sectors that now make up specialist lending. Participants include: David Whittaker (Mortgages for Business); Adrian Moloney (One Savings Bank); Louisa Sedgwick (Vida Homeloans); Alan Cleary (Precise) and Rob Jupp (Brightstar).

All sessions are CII-accredited and delegates can earn CPD hours.

FSE London will also be hosting the second National Mortgage Adviser Awards in association with Mortgage Advice Bureau, with the ceremony sponsored by Brightstar. The Awards will once again recognise the top firms throughout the UK across 12 regions and three specialist awards.

The exhibition space for FSE London provides adviser visitors with access to over 60 exhibitors including lenders, distributors, networks, insurance providers, technology companies, and many more.

James Prosser, Managing Director of Front Events, organisers of FSE London, commented:

“FSE London is now just a few weeks away and we have assembled a quality line-up of seminars to deliver to attendees when we open for business on the 12th September at Old Billingsgate.

“2018 has been an eventful year and there is plenty to discuss, debate and look forward to during the next few months and beyond. In a year when the FCA’s Mortgages Market Study Interim Report has provided plenty of food for thought for the industry, we are very pleased to be able to have a variety of mortgage market trade body representatives on one panel to discuss this, and many other areas.
