Attended by many of the UK’s leading commercial mortgage brokers, the conference was designed to help them ‘work, rest and play’ via a daytime programme of presentations focusing on ways to maximise business opportunities, an evening dinner and quiz and a golf competition staged the following day on the famous Ryder Cup Brabazon course.
A number of key issues were addressed during the conference, including the financing of partially completed residential property developments, an analysis of investment loan structures, and even a guide explaining how to get on the right side of a credit committee! Guest speakers from Aldermore’s asset finance business and Petty chartered surveyors rounded off the presentations.
Rob Lankey, head of lending at Aldermore Commercial Mortgages, said: “We were delighted with the very positive response we received to our first commercial mortgage conference. We wanted to set an upbeat, forward-looking agenda and instil a sense of confidence about the future amongst our distribution partners. It was good not only to be able to address the business issues of the day, but to also be able to spend time socialising with work colleagues.”
