Sesame turns up heat on networks

John Malone, executive chairman of PMS – Sesame Bankhall Group’s directly authorised mortgage club – said he was thrilled with turnout of around 500 brokers in total.

Malone said: “It’s encouraging to see so many companies here who we’ve been discussing opportunities and benefits with in the Sesame Bankhall Group.

“Hopefully after today they’ll make that step and become not just members but part of the success of the Sesame group.”

Rob Gill, director at MAB London AR Coreco, said he had attended to learn more about Sesame’s wealth offering.

He said: “As a business you have to make money and it’s important we look at all parts of financial advice including wealth. MAB is great for what they do offer us but they don’t have a wealth offering which is why we’re here today.”

George Higginson, chief executive of Sesame Bankhall Group, added: “We bring together business leaders to give advisers a first-hand insight into the key issues of the day, which helps inform firms’ thinking as they plan their future direction.”
