Specialist mortgage broker ‘self-help’ group ready to lobby FSA

Founder members and their organisations are: Ann-Marie Stone, compliance director at Paymentshield; Sharon Glay, compliance manager at Countrywide Assured Financial Services; Bruce Collins, group compliance manager at BDS Mortgage Group; Mike Davies, head of compliance Bank of Ireland/Post Office Joint Venture; Nick Battersby director of group compliance Trustguard Credit Services; and Bill Warren, network director at Complete Mortgage & Loan Services Ltd.

Warren said the forum, which will convene monthly, also hopes to become a source of information for AMI. It has yet to decide if it will publish its conclusions.

“I see us as a semi-formal self-help group. Many of us have worked together before and so there is a great deal of trust between us,” he commented.
