Halifax returns to Mortgage Expo

Mortgage Business Expo London 2012, the UK’s largest exhibition for the financial intermediary market, said it has seen strong growth in both exhibitor numbers and delegate registrations with just over a month to go until the event.

MBE London 2012 organisers have revealed the number of exhibitors signed up to the show is currently 23% up on 2011 while delegate registrations are showing a 12% increase on this time last year.

MBE said this was down to an improved roster of large and mainstream lenders exhibiting including Aldermore, The Mortgage Works, Nationwide for Intermediaries, Precise Mortgages and Virgin Money.

There are also over 100 suppliers exhibiting including specialist lenders, surveyors, technology companies, distributors and packagers.

The show will also host a seminar programme produced by the Association of Mortgage Intermediarieswhere for the first time in the exhibition’s history the Financial Services Authority will be delivering key note speeches on both days of the event.

James Prosser, MBE London 2012 show director, said: “We are just under a month away from MBE London 2012 at our new venue, Excel, and we are pleased to report that both exhibitor numbers and delegate registrations are strong and ahead of this time last year.

"Last year’s event felt like the industry as a whole had turned a corner and the dark days post-Credit Crunch were behind us. This feeling has certainly been confirmed as we motor towards next month’s event where we will be offering something for everyone with an expanded and quality content Mortgage Business Expo."

Expo is taking place in London's Excel centre on the 14 and 15 November.
