The network has issued a double invitation to its Appointed Representatives (ARs), to both attend the conference and to participate in an incentive programme which will result in top performing firms spending a few days next Spring at the 5 star Sheraton Algarve resort in Portugal.
The annual conference is to be held at the Belfry Hotel and Golf complex in Birmingham. It is being themed ‘Partners in Success’ and will address very practical issues to help network members build their businesses in what is clearly going to be a more challenging mortgage market during the year ahead.
Key sponsors from the Halifax, Royal Bank of Scotland, TMB and Wave will take part in a live debate with ARs, and other lenders and product providers will also be hosting seminars addressing important developments in the market. The evening will conclude with a gala dinner which will include awards for network members.
Mortgage Next has also announced its first overseas incentive event, which will reward top performing firms from each UK region with a trip to the 5 star Sheraton Algarve Hotel in Portugal, from 12 to 14 March 2008.
Gemma Harle, managing director of Mortgage Next, said: “2007 has been an excellent year for Mortgage Next Network and its members and, despite the effects of the recent credit crunch, we believe there is much to be optimistic about in 2008 and beyond.
“Our conference aims to address the many challenges which brokers face in today’s mortgage market, as well as demonstrating how we will be our ARs ‘partners in success’. We’re also delighted to be joined by sponsoring business partners, who will talk in seminar sessions about key developments in the market.
“Our overseas incentive in Portugal in March next year is a fitting reward for those members who will have achieved outstanding results during 2007. The competition for places is heating up and I look forward to announcing the winners later this year.”
