James Prosser continues:
So much has happened during those ten years that we could be forgiven for thinking that we are operating in a completely new industry from the one that existed back then.
There have obviously been huge peaks and troughs during that time and I am often reminded of the phrase, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger’, when I look back over the past few years, particularly since the onset and fallout from the Credit Crunch.
However, in this tenth year of Expo, there is much to be positive about and on the 16th and 17th November at Olympia 2, the UK’s largest exhibition for the financial intermediary market will take place once again.
This year we are once again supported by AMI who will be offering its free seminar programme to all attendees.
Intermediaries will be able to hear industry experts outlining their vision in key areas such as: the future of the economy, what to look for in a network; marketing and lead generation; and information and support on accessing alternative business streams such as equity release and buy-to-let.
The exhibition itself has grown substantially in the past couple of years. We have a considerable number of lenders exhibiting including major mainstream players such as Santander, Northern Rock, Nationwide for Intermediaries, to name just a few.
Plus we have over a hundred other exhibitors who are active in both the residential and commercial sectors, and also bridging lenders, technology companies, networks, plus much more.
Our 10th year gives us an opportune time to look back at what has happened to the market, but more importantly, it provides the chance to understand what future opportunities are available in order to help grow and develop in this recovering market.
I would therefore urge all intermediaries to register for their free place by visiting the website.
