To reflect the current concerns of mortgage advisers, the content at the Forum will be focused on examining the diversification opportunities that are on offer as intermediaries look to build sustainable business models for the future.
The Forum will feature a mix of key note speeches from some of the industry’s leading thinkers, seminar sessions that will look in detail at a number of different topics relevant to the business challenges intermediaries face and a marketplace where delegates can engage with key industry suppliers.
Graham Felstead, Director of Intermediary Mortgages at RBS commented: “Talking to many of our business partners, it is clear that they are keen to start planning and building their businesses to compete in the new economic and regulatory environment. People are now looking forwards rather than over their shoulders at what has happened, so we have tailored this Forum event to provide attendees with practical help and expert insight on the topics they’ll need to address. With over 200 intermediaries expected to attend it will also be a great event for them to share their thoughts with their peers. We had some great feedback from those who attended the Nottingham Forum in May and I am really looking forward to another lively event in September.”
The key note speakers include Grenville Turner, Group CEO of Countrywide, Martin Reynolds, Development Director at PMS and Graham Felstead, Director of Intermediary Mortgages at RBS.
The special guest speaker is Richard West who will be talking about how to survive and prosper in a rapidly changing environment. Richard has spent much of his life in the motor racing business including time as Director of Sponsorship and Marketing at the Williams F1 team and Series Administrator for the British Touring Car Championship and is an accomplished business speaker and mentor.
There are six seminar sessions for delegates to choose from on topics such as the future of mortgage regulation, diversification, marketing, adding value to client relationships, government-backed initiatives and private banking.
