NatWest IS announces forum

The Forum will follow a similar format to previous events, featuring a mix of key note speakers and business development seminars. It will enable delegates to hear about the very latest industry developments from key note speakers including Graham Felstead, head of intermediary channel, NatWest Intermediary Solutions; Robert Sinclair, director, AMI; and Grenville Turner, group chief executive officer, Countrywide.

These events have built a reputation for providing delegates with practical ideas to implement in their businesses through a series of seminar sessions run by market experts on topics including government-backed schemes, regulation, marketing, high value mortgages, business banking and how to adapt and build your broker business to fit the market conditions. There will also be a marketplace giving delegates the chance to talk to representatives from TriGold, NatWest business banking, Coutts as well as a NatWest Intermediary Solutions surgery.

A special guest speaker from the world of sport, whose identity has yet to be revealed, will be the star attraction in a session focusing on leadership, planning and teamwork.

Graham Felstead, head of intermediary channel, NatWest Intermediary Solutions said: "This is the third consecutive year that we have run this programme of events and, from the feedback we have received from delegates, we know that they are highly regarded and offer attendees a packed day full of ideas and opinions. It also gives us an invaluable opportunity to hear 'first-hand' from our business partners the burning issues that they are facing and provides a great forum for dialogue. Our unique mixture of key note industry speakers, practical seminars and a world class motivational guest speaker make these events a 'must' for advisers who want to stay one step ahead in this rapidly changing environment. I am really looking forward to welcoming our delegates for what will be an invigorating and worthwhile day."
