Colin Sanders, Money Partners’ chief executive officer, said: “As an existing member of the CML, IMLA and AMI, we have seen the considerable benefit of belonging to the major industry trade bodies. Joining the AFB gives us the perfect opportunity to ensure we are similarly represented in the important secured loans market.
“Since its inception last year, the AFB has succeeded in establishing itself as an effective representative body for secured loan brokers. As the sector continues to evolve and grow, it has never been more important for brokers to be properly represented at the highest levels of government, parliament, among the regulatory authorities and in the media. The AFB is ideally positioned to achieve this, and we look forward to contributing positively to its future success.”
Robert Sinclair, the AFB’s Director, said: “For any trade association to be effective in promoting the interests of intermediaries, it is vital that the key product providers deliver their support. We are very grateful for the support of Money Partners and their recognition of the work we are doing. Their support underpins our work and assists in delivering a strong secured loans industry. AFB needs the encouragement of all parts of the sector to vigorously represent its broker members with policy makers at all levels. I am therefore delighted to welcome Money Partners as part of the growing team of members of the AFB. I would encourage all lenders and brokers to join.
