Patrick's appointment was approved unanimously. He replaces Rob Clifford formerly of Mortgage Force. Patrick joined London and Country (L&C) in 1993. He is Operations and Compliance Director at L&C, which is the largest directly authorised residential mortgage broker in the UK. Patrick has also been a Director of AMI since 2007.
The Rt. Hon John Gummer MP, Independent Chairman of AMI, said:
"We are delighted that Patrick has accepted the role of Deputy Chairman on the AMI Board. Pat has always been a valuable member of the board and he brings a wealth of experience. I warmly welcome him into his new role for what is certain to be the most demanding year the mortgage intermediary community has faced to date. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rob Clifford for his outstanding contributions to AMI and wish him every success in the future."
Patrick Bunton, AMI joint Deputy Chairman, added:
"After serving on the AMI board, it was an honour and a pleasure to be asked to take up this role. Last year was a challenging year for mortgage intermediaries. This year will see more of the same, but it is reassuring to know that we have such a strong trade association working hard to ensure our best interests are met throughout these turbulent times."
