Equity Release Club hosts roadshows with LLA

The roadshows will take place in Welwyn Garden City on 9 September, Solihull on 14 September, Bradford on 21 September and Southampton on 5 October.

The events will feature presentations from industry speakers, while the Later Life Academy will also be present.

Stuart Wilson, managing partner of the Later Life Academy, said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for the later life market not just with the pension freedoms introduced this year but also the opportunity for advisers to engage with a public that is perhaps in greater need of advice than ever before.

“This is why the Later Life Academy is very happy to be supporting these autumn road shows and we will also be on hand to talk non-members through the proposition and the benefits it can offer.

“We believe that many specialist equity release advisers, for instance, are now in a strong position to broaden their advice and product offering, and they will find a growing number of clients looking for a wider array of services.”

He added: “These events give attendees a chance to learn from experts in their field, particularly the wide variety of later life providers that will be in attendance, and also offer the chance to broaden product knowledge and to network with peers.

“The road shows promise to be very worthwhile for all advisers who attend and everyone at the LLA is looking forward to reaching out to the local advisory communities over the four days.”
