Chris Cummings, Director, AMI, said: “AMI is delighted to welcome lenders of the calibre of Nationwide, UCB and Mortgage Express to membership of the trade association. It shows the success of AMI that we are so quickly attracting major lenders, and, more importantly, large numbers of intermediaries - from the smallest to the largest.”
Charles Reed, Managing Director, UCB Home Loans, said: “Both UCB Home Loans and Nationwide are delighted to become Associate members of AMI and to follow its progress with interest in the run-up to mortgage regulation.”
Tim Sturley, Head of Business Development at Mortgage Express commented: “The establishment of an independent trade association representing the views of professional mortgage intermediaries could not have happened at a more dynamic period in the history of our industry. In particular with statutory regulation less than 18 months away and the FSA actively consulting on a wide variety of change affecting intermediaries, a dedicated and focused voice to represent the intermediary sector is now vital.”
