Ashford, Watford and Eastbourne have been added to the existing nine dates booked across the country: Birmingham, Dorking, Southampton, Croydon, Manchester, Reading, Hull, Fareham and Durham.
In reaction to the recent network mergers, closures, bad press in respect of procuration fee delays and non-payments and general broker uncertainty, BDS want to showcase their network strength and show how focussed it is on increasing income opportunities for its appointed representatives. The informal presentations will also give directly authorised brokers the chance to assess a viable alternative going forward as the costs, compliance and administrative burden of direct authorisation prove too much for many.
Bob Hope, sales & marketing director, at BDS Mortgage Group commented: "Brokers we talk to are increasingly disgruntled with severe commission payment delays and even income restriction and this is unacceptable. BDS offer a regulatory shelter and comprehensive support for their members and have the financial backing of a large parent - we are not going any where except onwards and upwards and we want brokers to take on the journey with us."
