All stands sold for Leeds Mortgage Business Expo

With just a few weeks to go to the Mortgage Business Expo (MBE) at Leeds Royal Armouries, all the stands have been sold for the event on 20th April.

The Expo has been enthusiastically supported by over 40 exhibitors including specialist lenders, building societies, retirement planning companies and industry bodies such as the FCA and the Equity Release Council.

There is also a full, well balanced MBE seminar programme for which brokers, advisers and IFAs can earn valuable Cll CPD points. Keynote speakers include Louisa Sedgwick of Leeds Building Society, Richard Deacon of Masthaven, Lynda Blackwell of the FCA, Jeff Knight of Pepper Homeloans, Gary Webster a member of the Equity Release Council and Adrian Scoates of the Nationwide.

For the first time there’ll also be a live online webinar which will be able to be viewed remotely as well as at the Expo itself. It features Stuart Wilson of more2life presenting ‘The Big Picture’ about lifetime mortgages.

To complement the MBE seminars, there’s also a series of talks in the Aldermore Theatre which will cover topics such as complex buy to let, regulation and new build opportunities for brokers. There will also be a lunchtime panel discussion for introducers to discover more about commercial, business and development finance, run in association with Aldermore.

Registration for visitors is free and they will have the perfect opportunity to directly discuss the finance and planning needs for their clients with major financial brands.

Mike Mikunda, from MBE commented: “We are very pleased that the second Leeds Expo has been fully supported by the lending and finance industry. All the stands have now been sold which demonstrates that lenders and retirement planners are keen to speak to the region’s brokers and IFAs. Registration is free at the website and we have seen a very positive response from professionals signing up to attend, so it will be another very popular Expo in Leeds.”
