Manchester mortgage expo a success

James Prosser, show director, said: “We are really pleased that the day proved to be an overall success for everyone involved with a packed seminar theatre and exhibition hall.

“Our primary purpose for running MBE Manchester was to deliver advice, insight and business opportunities for mortgage intermediaries in the North of England and we believe we achieved that.

“We were also delighted to welcome visitors from all regions of the North including many who travelled from Scotland.”

Robert Sinclair, director of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries who chaired the day’s seminar programme, added: “To be back in Manchester with Expo was a further sign that our market is returning to some sense of order. It was pleasing to see so many lenders and brokers together in the North. The partnership between AMI and MBE continues to promote debate through our theatres and allows us to listen to our members. I am looking forward to repeating the exercise."

Sponsors present at MBE Manchester included Nationwide for Intermediaries, The Mortgage Works, NatWest Intermediary Solutions, Northern Rock, Platform, Aldermore, Kensington and Woolwich Mortgages from Barclays.
